Manage and monitor networked devices via SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is an Internet standard protocol for collecting and organizing information about managed devices on IP networks. By installing a network management system (NMS) such as Zabbix, Nagios, PRTG on your QNAP NAS you can easily manage and monitor every SNMP-enabled device in your network environment.
Consolidate the system status notifications of all devices to one QNAP NAS
By using a virtual machine (VM) in Virtualization Station to host your network management system (NMS) such as Zabbix, Nagios or PRTG, you can turn your NAS into a monitoring station for all networked devices. Devices such as NAS, routers, network switches, modems, hubs, uninterruptible power supply (UPS), IP phones, IP cameras, workstations, and printers can all send system information to the host QNAP NAS, allowing you to consolidate system reports and notifications for multiple devices.
Reduce IT system management workloads
-
No need to login to individual devices for monitoring and management.
-
Consolidate notifications from multiple devices and fully control their system status.
-
Consolidate reports from multiple devices, removing the need to manually compile reports from every device.
-
Supports popular network management systems (NMS), including Zabbix, Nagios and PRTG.
-
Use a NAS as a system monitoring station. An extra server is not needed for centralized monitoring.
-
Supports fiber channel adapters and related information monitoring.
How to use
- Create a virtual machine (VM) in Virtualization Station. Within the VM, install and run network management system (NMS) such as Zabbix, Nagios or PRTG
- Enable the SNMP protocol on managed devices
- Set up notifications and reports in the network management system (NMS)
