This doesn't really make any sense.
99.999% of Observium's functionality is SNMP.
If a device doesn't do SNMP, it's not a device for us. It's a lightbulb,
or a banana. It can't go into our interface, because we'd need 10
trillion if() statments to handle all of the things it didn't provide,
and you'd end up with completely blank pages with a hostname at the top.

Hi from Germany,
I think, we are talking about different use-cases.
Adam implemented a (great) possibility to add ping/http/what-ever
checks (https://docs.observium.org/ping_only/) to a running Observium
host.
The use-case of Thomas (and me) is a little bit different:
We need a possibility to add a device to Observium with “reduced
features” (according to the missing SNMP connectivity) but full
functionality (were possible).
In my opinion a switch to skip the SNMP-poll during the add-process
and a (manual) change from SNMP to a “ping poller” would fit our needs.
Location, Type, Description … can be edited manually … and as
“full-featured” device the great API can be used for data-exchange.
Regards,
Philipp

If you haven't already; add the Observium host as a device.
Then add the icmp probe to your Observium device.

Hi
I was able to set up the probe, but i cannot add it to a device
since the device doesn't exist (and cannot be added since it
cannot speak snmp).
What am i doing wrong?

You can’t add non-SNMPable devices to Observium’s SNMP polling

Read the page I linked, it explains.

Hi
I don't really get it sorry, it seems that you can add the
probe check after the device is added to Observium.
However, how can i add the device (./add_device.php or via ui)
to Observium if it doesn't speak SNMP. For me it always fails with
Could not reach apar01 with given SNMP parameters using v1.
Best,
Thomas

Hi
How can i add a device which cannot (!) speak any snmp and
only responds to ping/icmp requests?
We have an Aruba wlan setup (Mobility Master and two
Mobility Controllers) and i want to add the aps to
Observium, so that they are monitored but only by ping/icmp.
(The MM and the two MCs are already added to Observium,
but i cannot see if one AP went offline or came back
online again)
The aps cannot speak any snmp when managed by the MM or
MC, thats why it fails when i try to add one via
./add_device.php
I appreciate any help :)
Best,
Thomas
