Just complementing,
I don't have those IP addresses on the /etc/hosts, not even in a DNS Server.
I have added all, apparently by IP address.

Hello,
I am trying to add some new devices to monitoring, but I am receiving the
error Could not resolve 10.251.15.182
I have added the devices with IP 10.251.15.181, 10.251.15.183,
But devices 10.251.15.182 and 10.251.15.184 presents the Resolve Error.
As you can see, it's an IP address.
Pinging from the console is possible, as the traceroute leads to the same
path.
The reverse path works.
Searching I found the way to add by command line.
It was possible to add the two devices, 10.251.15.182 and 10.251.15.184.
Ok. But now, when I try to add other devices on the same network, the error
"Could no resolve 10.251.15.xxx" persists.
The server is on the same network. 10.251.15.22
Apparently it's a kind of bug with the interface, that is trying to resolve
with the DNS an IP address.
This other case, I am not sure, but in a moment, it apparently to try to
add a device, but not sure what message it gives, but it was related to
snmp comunity, I guess, and in a second try,it presents the Can not
resolve, error. This case I don't have much details. It only happened one
time.
Sorry for my English,

Yeah, you adding it by hostname has absolutely nothing to do with you
trying to add it by IP address, it simply won't work. Like what Joseph
said, you need to get generic DNS entries in via some method (DNS server,
/etc/hosts)

First port of call would be to fire the people installing devices important
enough to need monitoring without hostnames...

Observium can't resolve an IP to an IP because it isn't a hostname. Host
file (and DNS A/AAAA record) lookups don't work "backwards" like that.
Also, a hosts file pre-filled with a generically syntaxed hostname for each
IP address within any of the subnets which you wish to monitor would pretty
much never have to be updated. If you ever have any new IP ranges come into
play, you would simply have to append the generic entries for it to the
hosts file. What else would there be to manage/maintain? It certainly
wouldn't require a full-time role.
If you did this, anytime you have a device on an IP without a DNS record,
you could add it with the generic hostname.
The only other option would be to do some pretty involved patching of your
Observium install, which almost assuredly WOULD be a nightmare to maintain.

Is there any way we can add devices without using hostnames?
