S.M.A.R.T., or Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology, is a monitoring system for computer hard drives to examine and report on various attributes to alert the user of possible disk failures. Users will be able to inspect the disk information, disk S.M.A.R.T. information, and perform S.M.A.R.T. tests on the disks installed from within the DSM 2.3 Management interface.
S.M.A.R.T. is for experienced computer technicians who are familiar with reading and comprehending technical data from the various HDD manufactures. HDD manufactures do not adhere to one specific standard as each manufacturer has a different standard for referring to S.M.A.R.T. data. However, it is recommended to change your disk if errors are detected.
The package management allows you to install, uninstall or manage applications provided by Synology or 3rd-party vendors. You can find some of the available applications on Synology website under Value Applications.
SNMP protocol support allows you to monitor the DiskStation with existing network management software.
Resource Monitor allows you to easily monitor the DiskStation's CPU usage, memory usage, network flow and volume usage.
Notification
By setting up email account and SMS authentications, the system will send out email or SMS notifications when critical events occur.
Logs
Every move users make will be recorded into a Log. On the Log page you can view the System Log, Connection Log, Current connection Log, File transfer log via FTP or File Station, Backup Log, USB Copy Log, and Network Backup Log. Furthermore, logs can be manually deleted or saved for further use. When the log size reaches its limit, the oldest record will be removed to conserve space.
