Hey, I’m using CheckMK to monitor my Synology NAS.
There are alreaedy checks being done and a CheckMK Agent is installed.
I’m mounting encrypted disks on the NAS and you have to put the password for those after every restart or they won’t work.
I’d like to add a check for those drives, to see wether they are mounted properly, in the case of an unscheduled restart, a power outage or the like.
Could someone here point me in the right direction in how I could do that?
I appreciate the help.
If the volume is not mounted you should get an error from your agent that the volume is missing.
Maybe I phrased it wrong, but the problem is that the drive shows up as always, but you can’t access the data on it, until you’ve put in the password on the synology webgui. So the CheckMK Agent still reports the drives as present, but they’re not accessable.
I’d like to have a check for exactly that.
I would go for a file-check, where you place a file on the root of the drive, and then check if its accesible/exists or not.
Use the cmk server and mount a share with nfs and or cifs.
If a file-check works everything is fine, orherwise you ve a problem.

Maybe robotmk is an option for you.

Hello
To monitor mounted encrypted disks on your Synology NAS with CheckMK you can check below steps:
Write a script to check if disks are mounted properly.
Modify Check_MK agent config to run the script.
Set up service checks in CheckMK.
Test script and configuration.
Hope it helps !
Thank you
