The problem it solves

Your file downloads run quietly in the background until something breaks, and you only find out when a transfer has been stuck for hours. Digging through log files on the NAS to figure out what went wrong is tedious and easy to put off, so problems pile up unnoticed.

Who it fits

Anyone running a home or small-office file server who wants to know about download errors without checking logs manually.

How it works

  1. Every hour, the system checks your Synology download log for new entries.
  2. It pulls out only the lines related to connection errors.
  3. Duplicate and old errors are filtered out, keeping the list to the most recent ones.
  4. A summary of the errors is sent straight to your Telegram.
What you get

Download errors you hear about hourly

You get an hourly Telegram summary of any connection errors from your Synology downloads, without checking logs yourself.

What you get

A short Telegram message summarizing any recent download connection errors.

What you need

A Synology NAS with remote access enabled and a Telegram bot.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
