For most monitoring systems the alert function is the most vital one, to be able to trigger alerts that are not false-positive and therefore can help NOC or on-call personnel to quickly deal with issues. That part is not included and would require a purchase J From: observium [mailto:observium-bounces@observium.org] On Behalf Of Phillip Baker Sent: Friday, June 5, 2015 1:19 AM To: Observium Network Observation System Subject: Re: [Observium] Demo Bad news on both counts: There are no trials of the pro edition available available (the community edition gives you enough of an idea if it will “work” in principle, and a pro licence is not really a big-ticket purchase, there is no sensible way to do trials of a product that is provided open source) and No: it is the observium team’s not-unreasonable belief that you should have DNS on your management network to map device hostnames to and from. If you really don’t want to do DNS, you’ll have to edit /etc/hosts on your observium server to add entries for the devices you want to monitor, and then add those.

Also, I would like to know if observium can be configure so I can just put an IP address when adding a device instead of a hostname? Thanks in advance!
