Hi, @skypete.

We do have a plugin on the exchange that should work for you:
https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... us/details


It uses SNMP to check a Synology NAS device.
- System status (Power, Fans)
- Disks status
- RAID (Volume) status
- DSM update status
- Temperatures
- Storage percentage of use
- UPS informations
Because SNMP is one of the prerequisites to run this plugin you'll need to enable it on your device first. Please refer to the official manufacturers manual for the instructions on how to do that. Once you enable it try running a few test commands as shown in the description.

First you would need to enable SNMP here
https://www.synology.com/en-us/knowledg ... ystem_snmp


Then find a plugin that does what you want, there are some Synology plugins here
