NAS monitoring with Checkmk?

Is it possible to monitor NAS , SAN , APC UPS , etc with checkmk ? I’ve Synology NAS (DSM) and Netgear ReadyNAS . I want to monitor it with SNMP. I looked at grafana , prometheus snmp exporter and Zabbix . I’m confused with configuring prometheus snmp monitoring and I didn’t find any synology templete for latest version of Zabbix. So I’m stuck . Will checkmk help me to monitor it ?

I got a Synology NAS monitored with SNMP with no issues on Checkmk raw edition. I assume the others won’t be much of a problem either if they support SNMP connections.

If you go for a paid edition you can get support from Checkmk.
If not, just post your problems in the forum. There’s plenty of knowledge here too.

I too have a Synology NAS, monitoring works just fine.

Our APC UPSes are being detected as well, looks like this:

Is it possible to setup graphs like in grafana in checkmk ?

Hi muhammedshan, of course you can setup nice graphs and dashboards. In the service list shown above you can already see the yellow icons for metrics with readily available graphs. You can combine these to nice dashboards:

You can use the graphs in Checkmk, but you can also connect Grafana to Checkmk as a datasource. See docs article:

Thank you. Will check out once I learned connecting the SNMP with Synology NAS and Ready NAS.
