PRTG QNAP monitoring: What you’ll find on this page
Mind the QNAP
Monitoring QNAP NAS devices with generic tools is like configuring a server manually. Or, well… eating soup with a fork.
Possible. But why go through all that trouble, when there are dedicated tools that make the process much easier?
Paessler PRTG's purpose-built sensors are designed to work seamlessly with any QNAP-manufactured NAS device. That means setup is much quicker. And, more importantly, your QNAP network environment is more comprehensive, accurate, and reliable. Because, to do a specialized task well, you need a specialist tool.
Made for QNAP, great for your whole network: Why choose PRTG as your QNAP monitoring tool
Setup automation
And when we say simple, we mean PRTG will handle most of the work. Our Auto-Discovery scans your network for QNAP devices on launch, and adds them to your monitoring environment.
That's it. Really. Once they're in your dashboard, PRTG starts tracking them straight away.
Proactively fix issues
Addressing low memory, downtime, bottlenecks that can slow down access to data, and other performance issues is great. But preventing them from happening is much, much better.
PRTG automatically alerts you via email, SMS, or push notification (with our mobile apps for iOS and Andoid) when important health indicators are at risk of underperforming, so you can swoop in and save the day.
Central QNAP monitoring
As QNAP NAS systems often contain multiple physical hard disks which in turn are combined with logical disks, monitoring them can become complex. Not with PRTG.
Keep an eye on the remaining amount of storage space, make sure backups work correctly and storage capacity is properly distributed – all from one central place.
Not just QNAP compatibility
PRTG can monitor NAS devices by other manufacturers too, including Buffalo TS, LenovoEMC, and Synology. In fact, while you're at it, while not keep an eye on your whole network?
With more than 250 preconfigured sensors, PRTG makes this a quick and straightforward process.
Start monitoring QNAP with PRTG and see how it can make your network more reliable and your job easier.

How it works: PRTG QNAP monitoring in action
PRTG comes with three purpose-built QNAP sensors, which track important QNAP parameters round the clock:
SNMP QNAP Physical Disk
The SNMP QNAP Physical Disk sensor monitors a physical drive in a QNAP NAS via SNMP. It can show the following:
- Disk status
- M.A.R.T. status
- Temperature
SNMP QNAP Logical Disk
The SNMP QNAP Logical Disk sensor monitors a logical drive in a QNAP NAS via SNMP. It can show the following:
- Free bytes
- Free space in percent
- Volume status
SNMP QNAP System Health
The SNMP QNAP System Health sensor monitors the system health of a QNAP NAS via SNMP. It can show the following:

What is QNAP monitoring?
QNAP monitoring is nothing means monitoring NAS systems from the manufacturer QNAP. Among other things, it lets you monitor:
- The status of hardware
- The status of the system
- The status of logical and physical hard drives
- Input/output operations
- Network connections
QNAP monitoring software like PRTG lets you keep a constant eye on all these values and parameters. As a result, you'll ensure data is safely stored and easily accessible at all times.
What is PRTG QNAP monitoring?
PRTG is a proprietary network management and monitoring tool that tracks and analyzes any QNAP device that's connected to your LAN, WAN, or VPN. Available for Windows- and Linux-based systems or as a cloud-hosted solution, it helps you spot storage, memory, traffic, speed, and other issues, so you can prevent bottlenecks and ensure your organization's critical data remains secure.
How does PRTG monitor QNAP NAS devices?
PRTG's sensors monitor QNAP devices using SNMP. Each sensor tracks a specific parameter. Pick your preferred warning and error thresholds, and you'll get a text, email, or in-app notification if performance is at risk of falling below them.
How do I set up QNAP NAS monitoring in PRTG?
First things first, make sure you meet the system requirements and that SNMP is enabled on both your network and your NAS devices. In QNAP, the "Enable SNMP" toggle switch is on the control panel's homepage. In Windows, you'll find it in the system settings. Once that's done, double-click the .exe file. PRTG will automatically detect any SNMP-enabled QNAP devices on your network and add them to your monitoring environment.
What is a sensor in PRTG?
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.
More than just a monitoring tool:
