45Drives NAS Devices

[allanhillier]

Has anyone on this forum ever tried to implement Nagios on any of the NAS devices offered by 45Drives?

I'm planning on maybe setting up some checks.

Thanks,

Do you happen to know if it's running *NIX under the hood, or supports SNMP?

[allanhillier]

It can come with CentOS or FreeNAS as the OS.

According to their wiki site: http://www.45drives.com/wiki/index.php/ ... ested_OS's

CentOS 7 MATE is an OS option that will technically work, but running Nagios Core with a desktop environment is NOT recommended, there are too many things running with that system.

[allanhillier]

I was thinking of using nagios on the NAS to monitor things like the health of the raid arrays, available disk space, system info like CPU temp, fan speeds etc.

This unit would be used for storing backup so I don't understand your comment about "desktop Environment" and "too things running with that system"

Thanks

Ah - it looks like there may have been some miscommunication. Are you just looking to monitor this device from '45drives' using Nagios Core?

As @hsmith mentioned -- does this device support SNMP? If it's running CentOS or FreeNAS under the hood, then you should be able to gain metrics about the internal information from the Nagios machine.

I believe what @ischwartz was referring to, is running the actual Nagios software on top of the NAS.
