@muety do you mean the node-exporter from Prometheus (to grab data from the NAS)? We already have a package for that: https://synocommunity.com/package/node-exporter.

If you want to ingest the data instead, IMHO, you are better off to use a cheap VPS to ingest/process your data or a home server. what NAS model do you have? IMHO, non docker supported NASs are usually not very powerful and are not really designed for this level of real time data processing. If you have docker supported NAS you may have enough power to just run it in a container instead.

Agree, I also have a fear that Prometheus wouldn't run very well on the low-end NASs.

I'd want to use it (together with Grafana) for some home automation analytics and monitoring (power meters, etc.), where the data shall possibly only stay within my local network and where data volumes are not expected to grow large.

I'll give it a try to see how it performs and report back here then.
