Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent all kinds of NAS performance issues in your network.
Install PRTG with just a few clicks. Its built-in Auto-Discovery feature then detects all the NAS devices connected to your network, using device templates for the NAS systems of several manufacturers, including Lenovo EMC, Buffalo, QNAP, Synology, and NetApp.
Monitor storage capacity and performance metrics to reduce or even eliminate malfunctions in your network-attached storage system and avoid costly downtime. PRTG’s wealth of historical data helps you to plan storage efficiently and keep storage infrastructure investments to a minimum.
PRTG helps ensure storage resources are efficiently distributed across your network. It checks hardware, system statuses, physical and logical disks, network connections, and input/output operations to guarantee the safe storage of data.
Identify memory bottlenecks in real time and allocate the right amount of storage space. You can also record suspicious traffic, and ensure that backups are performed successfully to avoid unpleasant data loss surprises later on.
Diagnose network issues by continuously tracking NAS, file servers, LUNs, and other network devices in your storage environment. Show hard disk space, bandwidth and memory usage, latency, data transfer speeds, and other key metrics in real time. Visualize monitoring data in clear graphs and dashboards to identify problems more easily. Gain the overview you need to troubleshoot all kinds of NAS performance issues in your IT infrastructure.

A NAS (network-attached storage) is a dedicated file storage device that provides centralized data storage and access over a network. It allows multiple users and devices on the network to access and share files easily, making it ideal for both personal and business use.
NAS monitoring refers to the process of tracking and analyzing the performance, health, and overall functionality of a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device. Monitoring ensures the NAS is operating efficiently, securely, and reliably while minimizing downtime and data loss.
Key aspects include:
Monitoring NAS systems is important for several reasons:
NAS (network-attached storage) and SAN (storage area network) are both storage solutions used to provide centralized data access, but they differ significantly in architecture, use cases, and complexity.
In PRTG, “sensors” are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, for example the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, or the free space on a disk drive. On average, you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.
Paessler conducted trials in over 600 IT departments worldwide to tune its network monitoring software closer to the needs of sysadmins. The result of the survey: over 95% of the participants would recommend PRTG – or already have.
Paessler PRTG is used by companies of all sizes. Sysadmins love PRTG because it makes their job a whole lot easier.
