I was really trilled when Synology announced also releasing DSM 5.1 for their x10 series. Why? This because DSM 5.1 has a great feature called NFS for VAAI. In simple words, hardware acceleration on your NAS.
First of all, I’m not very familiar with Monit at all, but I was looking for a simple monitoring solution which monitors, alerts and eventually can restart a service if it fails.
