1. Introduction

ASUSTOR Data Master (ADM) supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). Network administrators can use any SNMP-based NMS (Network Management System) to monitor the status of ASUSTOR NAS. With SNMP trap capability provided, ASUSTOR NAS can send notification to NMS actively when the pre-defined levels of events occur.

A SNMP MIB (Management Information Base) is a hierarchy of information used to define managed objects in a network device. This document introduces the supported MIB files on ASUSTOR ADM, while also describing how OIDs (Object Identifiers) in ASUSTOR MIBs are used. Users are encouraged to have experience and knowledge of NMS and SNMP prior to consulting this document.



2. Requirements

  • ASUSTOR NAS with ADM 2.4.0 or later
  • A SNMP-based NMS


3. Supported MIB files

There are two types of MIB files supported on ASUSTOR ADM: standard and ASUSTOR-specific. The table below shows all the MIBs supported by ASUSTOR ADM.


Standard MIB Explanation
DISMAN-EVENT-MIB For defining event triggers and actions for network management purposes
DISMAN-SCHEDULE-MIB For scheduling SNMP set operations periodically or at specific points in time
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB For use in managing host systems
IF-MIB For describing network interface sub-layers
IP-FORWARD-MIB For the management of CIDR multipath IP Routes
IP-MIB For IP and ICMP management objects
IPV6-ICMP-MIB For entities implementing the ICMPv6
IPV6-MIB For entities implementing the IPv6 protocol
IPV6-TCP-MIB For entities implementing TCP over IPv6
IPV6-UDP-MIB For entities implementing UDP over IPv6
NET-SNMP-AGENT-MIB For monitoring structures for the Net-SNMP agent
NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB For scripted extensions for the Net-SNMP agent
NET-SNMP-VACM-MIB Defines Net-SNMP extensions to the standard VACM view table

UDP-MIB For managing UDP implementations
ASUSTOR-specific MIB Explanation
ASUSTOR-SYSTEM-MIB For ASUSTOR system information
ASUSTOR-DISK-MIB For ASUSTOR disk information

Depending on the vendor, many standard MIBs are delivered with the NMS software. You can also download the standard MIBs from the IETF website, www.ietf.org, and compile them into your NMS, if necessary. The OIDs of standard SNMP MIB files will not be explained in this document.




4. ASUSTOR MIB files

ASUSTOR MIB files can provide specific data about a ASUSTOR NAS's system, disks, and connected UPS. To obtain the ASUSTOR MIB files, please go to ADM [Services] [SNMP] and click on the hyperlink to download.



ADM provides 3 ASUSTOR MIB files. Please check table below for details:


File Name OID Group
ASUSTOR-SYSTEM-MIB .1.3.6.1.4.1.44738.1 ASUSTOR system
.1.3.6.1.4.1.44738.2 ASUSTOR hardware
.1.3.6.1.4.1.44738.3 net
ASUSTOR-DISK-MIB .1.3.6.1.4.1.44738.4 disk
.1.3.6.1.4.1.44738.5 volume
ASUSTOR-UPS-MIB .1.3.6.1.4.1.44738.6 ASUSTOR ups

These MIB files are the child-nodes of OID 1.3.6.1.4.44738. Please note that the MIB files are mutually dependent. You have to import all of them together to your NMS first, and then you can monitor any of the items on NMS.



4.1 ASUSTOR SYSTEM MIB

The ASUSTOR System MIB displays all system statuses, including CPU, fan, and network status. Users can monitor this MIB for system operation. The tables below show information provided in the System MIB.

4.3 ASUSTOR UPS MIB

ASUSTOR UPS MIB provides the ability to monitor the status of a UPS device connected to the ASUSTOR NAS. Please note that available OIDs of the UPS MIB depend on what information is provided by the UPS device. If a UPS device does not provide data for a certain OID, that OID will not appear in the NMS software. The table below describes partial information provided in the UPS MIB. If you are interested in all OIDs, please refer to the MIB file ASUSTOR-UPS-MIB.txt.

5. Monitor specific OIDs

In any NMS, particular MIB files are needed in order to capture data through SNMP. Users need to import all MIB files to ensure that the NMS can resolve specific OIDs. Once imported, data can be captured by setting up the NMS. Although means of operating different kinds of NMS vary, the process of OID monitoring is similar. The overall procedure is as follows.

  1. Import MIB file into NMS.
  2. Setup the NMS to monitor specific OIDs.

The following guide demonstrates the use of PRTG (a type of NMS) including how to import MIB files and setup monitoring for the OIDs provided. For further help regarding PRTG, please consult PRTG documentation, as the following is only intended to be a brief description of OID monitoring.



5.1 Import MIB file

As PRTG cannot import MIB files directly, Paessler MIB Importer is required to convert MIB files into the PRTG format:


  • Choose all the ASUSTOR MIB file together and click Open File

The three MIB files: ASUSTOR-SYSTEM-MIB.txt, ASUSTOR-DISK-MIB.txt and ASUSTOR-UPS-MIB.txt, must be import together as they are mutually dependent and Paessler MIB Importer cannot load them individually. If the import is successful, a window should appear as shown below.



Detailed information is shown as below.


  • Go to File Save Complete OIDLib as… to export the MIB files to the PRTG supported format.

A PRTG-supported library containing the MIB information will then be generated.



5.2 Setup the NMS

When PRTG is installed, it will create a folder "PRTG Network Monitor" for storing all the required files. The PRTG-supported library containing the MIB files in question should be placed into the subfolder "snmplibs" in folder "PRTG Network Monitor". Once this has been done, specific OIDs can be set up for monitoring in PRTG. This guide assumes that ASUSTOR NAS have already been added to the devices list and focuses only on how to add OIDs for monitoring.

  • Open the PRTG Network Monitor
  • Go to Sensors Add Sensor


  • Click Add sensor to a device, choose an ASUSTOR NAS from the list, click Continue


  • Select Custom Sensors SNMP Library


  • Select the previously exported ASUSTOR library file and click OK


  • Choose items for monitoring


  • You can start monitoring the ASUSTOR NAS status on NMS now!
