Comments on: Monitoring Synology NAS through SNMP using Zabbix Server

I am trying to monitor 2 Synology NAS devices using SNMP v2. The template that I am using is called Synology DiskStation.
The issue that I have is if and when the NAS goes down or is offline then I do not get an alert in Zabbix.
I have no clue what I did wrong installing the template and devices.
I then thought that I would add a new ping item so that if the devices are unavailable, they would not respond to ping and then give an offline alert, but when trying to set it up. I cannot find the network interface on either device.

Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Lawrence

I think there is a cut&paste here:
“Go to Configuration >> Templates and click on Create Host button.”
correct should be:
Go to Configuration >> Hosts and click on Create Host button.

I am also wondering why 10050 port is givent here, which is the default port of the Zabbix Agent. Arn’t we using SNMP port 161?
