Installation

On Synology: Open Control Panel - Terminal & SNMP - SNMP - Enable SNMP Service and SNMPv1,SNMPv2c service and note down Community password.
On Domoticz install pysnmp: sudo pip3 install pysnmp
Install plugin.py to Domoticz plugins folder.

Configuration

Address: Synology IP Address
Community: Synology SNMP Community Password
DSM OID: Change this OID to 38 on DSM 5.1, 41 on DSM 6.0, 42 on DSM 6.1, 51 on DSM 6.2
Check Interval: Poll interval in minutes


This is the First commit and please bear in mind that it is beta at its best. It works well on my Synology DS 916+ on DSM 6.2. Please inform me if you have any problems...

After I made a stupid mistake and corrected it the plugin works.
I added drive number 5 because I have a ds1517+

Works like a charm.

Getting errors in log:

2019-07-07 21:34:28.917 Error: (SynoMonitor) 'onHeartbeat' failed 'ValueError':'non-hexadecimal number found in fromhex() arg at position 1'.

Also, HDD temperature monitor is not created (I have a DS416play - so that would be 4 temperature units).

The error comes from UPS Charge percent calculation, i understand you do not have a UPS connected to your Synology right? I have to put a check mechansim for UPS then. Btw the HDD Temperature units are created but not activated. You can find them in Settings-Devices page and activate them.

Thanks for the Plugin !
It would be great if you could make this more generic....

Map OID xx.yy.zz ====> Percentage sensor
Map OID xx.yy.zz ====> to Temp sensor
Map ...

Where you define this as an array at the top of your plugin/or a file

This way, it could also be used to read out servers/switches/routers/.....

(Of course deliver a example configuration file for the Synology would be great!)

Great idea, i start working on this then. Thanks a lot gizmocuz...

Please add RaidStatus to the set of devices.
Also when you do a new setup, make it easy to add an other drive, in my case I have 5 disks

When I add this, I get:

So, what am I doing wrong?

Did you run the pip3 command with ‘sudo’?

That’s the most common problem

Unfortunately the plugin has a huge impact on CPU usage % peeks of over 20%, with a normal of around 1-3%.
Also memory consumption is big, more then 20Mb extra.
Even the CPU temperature has a fluctuation of 5 degrees Celsius when the CPU usage peeks.
I have the same functions running in a bash script for years now, without any impact on anything.
So what is going on?

Well, in my case i see nothing different than as before; if there is a fluctuation as you said, it might be because of the low polling frequency (I kept mine as 5 mins), and high number of requests. As this is pure SNMP requests, these NASes are designed to handle such request loads. Apart from this the only thing i can think of is that there might be a problem on pysnmp package, but as i see there are no complaints on the net regarding this. Is it possible that your Synology might be dealing with some other background processes? Maybe you can restart your Synology and check it with the plugin on and off for 30 mins.
Also,the CPU and Mem usage calculations are as follows, to reflect the same calculation phase as Synology Resource Monitor:
CPU Usage = CPU User + CPU System
Memory Usage = (Total Mem Swap + Total Mem Real) - (memSwap + memCached+memFree)

I suspect most probably that your bash script might be reflecting only CPU System for CPU Usage and Total Mem-memFree for Memory Usage. You can check it by comparing your bash script results to Synology Resource Monitor Results for compliancy.

My bash script has the same values as my DS1517+, so that is working fine for years now.
When I enable the python plugin the problem starts.
The cpu load of the raspberry rises to more then 20% at an interval of 45 to 50 minutes.
NAS cpu load is normally between 0,5% and 2% with sometimes shortly up to max. 10%
This only occurs when I enable the plugin.

Hi Eddy, for whatever reason, i mistook it as the CPU and Memory usage of the NAS itself... I checked mine, started using the plugin on Sunday,CPU and mem were all normal, and on Wednesday, Mem is normal but CPU usage boosted above 20% all the time. Now i restarted domoticz server and both CPU and mem returned to normal. I took it as a linux kernel upgrade or some process stuck unrelated to plugin or domoticz.

So in short, i do not face a problem on my side; there's nothing fancy about the plugin code itself, it could be related to your domoticz server version and also domoticz-plugin memory and cpu usage is beyond my abilities to comprehend or comment.

No problem, I won't investigate further because I have already for years a working bash script.

@Eddy
Is it possible for you to share your bash script (+ installation instructions)
Wanna try your solution too.

v.1.0.2:
- Fixed 'non-hexadecimal number found' error
- Added 5th HDD Temp
- Fixed UPS 'OL CHRG' and 'OB DISCHRG' shown as 'Unknown' problem.

Hi all,

does that solution also work (the same way), when Domoticz is running on Synology NAS?

Edit:
Meanwhile I tried to setup the script on Synology NAS since my DOMOTICZ is running on that system.
Unfortunately it seems not to work.

First I installed pysnmp on synology (that was not an easy task by the way)

Afterwards I set up the scipt with modified configuration.
The hardware is not created (I even allowed new hardware before activating).
I cannot regognize the script to run, no log entries visible.

Happy for any tipps or adjustements.

Kind regards

Hi,

nice plugin!
I just don't get the good values on my ds218 with DSM 6.2.3-25426 Update 3
i've tried different oid's but none of them are returning the harddisk space info.

anyone an idea?
This log is with oid 51
