Maybe you can use a script on the DS3400 which writes performance data into a file, and then parse this one with PRTGs File-Content-Sensor: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=14801667&tstart=0

Hello,

you could check if the vendor of your router offers any MIB-Files that you can import with our MIB-Importer to do this.

best regards.

Hi, I have try but your MIB importer 2.1.1 can recognize only 1 line from SM10_R2.MIB I mean some other way to gathering information. I suppose Starwind don't use SNMP for monitoring.

I searched for this to but as far as I can see there are NO MIBS available for DS Storage Units to monitor their performance.

You can try the log result sMcli.exe tool to draw a graph view mode, see this link:
