PRTG Manual: SNMP Buffalo TS System Health Sensor
The SNMP Buffalo TS System Health sensor monitors the system health of a Buffalo TeraStation network-attached storage (NAS) via the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
This sensor supports the following TeraStation systems: 3000, 3010, 3020, 5000, 5010, 6000, and 7000 series.
Run an auto-discovery with the device template Buffalo TeraStation NAS to automatically create SNMP Custom Table sensors with additional useful information about the TeraStation, for example, array status, disk smart status, disk status, and Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) status. This device template also creates SNMP sensors for traffic, memory, and load average on the TeraStation.

Consider the following remarks and requirements for this sensor:
Remark |
Description |
|---|---|
TeraStation series |
This sensor supports the TeraStation 3000, 3010, 3020, 5000, 5010, 6000, and 7000 series. |
IPv6 |
This sensor supports IPv6. |
Performance impact |
This sensor has a low performance impact. |
Lookups |
This sensor uses lookups to determine the status values of one or more channels. |
Limits |
This sensor has predefined limits for several metrics. |
Error message |
In certain cases, this sensor might show an error message. If this occurs, open the settings of the parent device, section SNMP Compatibility Options, and set the Walk Mode to Use GETNEXT requests. |
Basic Sensor Settings
The sensor has the following default tags that are automatically predefined in the sensor's settings when you add the sensor:
- buffalots
- snmpbuffalots
- systemhealth
For more information about basic sensor settings, see section Sensor Settings.
Sensor Display
Setting |
Description |
|---|---|
Primary Channel |
Select a channel from the list to define it as the primary channel. In the device tree, PRTG displays the last value of the primary channel below the sensor's name. The available options depend on what channels are available for this sensor.
|
Graph Type |
Define how this sensor shows different channels:
|
Stack Unit |
This setting is only visible if you select Stack channels on top of each other above. Select a unit from the list. PRTG stacks all channels with this unit on top of each other. By default, you cannot exclude single channels from stacking if they use the selected unit. However, there is an advanced procedure to do so. |
By default, all of these settings are inherited from objects that are higher in the hierarchy. We recommend that you change them centrally in the root group settings if necessary. To change a setting for this object only, click 
under the corresponding setting name to disable the inheritance and to display its options.
For more information, see section Inheritance of Settings.
Which channels the sensor actually shows might depend on the target device, the available components, and the sensor setup.
