Hi,
A probe needs to be 'linked' to a device. Such that the probe is executed when the linked device is polled. Note that the probe always runs from the Observium poller (i.e. the probe is not executed on the linked device). In our environment, the Observium poller is already monitored by Observium itself, thus we do link such probes to the Observium poller device (incidentally, the poller IS the host that runs the probes, but that's a detail). We had plans to actually build an additional host that would be a seperate Observium poller, to which we would assign all the ping probes and being his own poller, would run the ping probes. This may not scale however, as all the probes are run sequentially (afaik) when that specific host is polled.
HTH,
Ahmed.

ok, I understand the use of probes. But how to connect a probe to a non-snmp device. I can only select a device from the list of snmp devices already added.
Thanks

This is not possible, because the "devices" list is a list of SNMP capable devices.
Practically every single aspect of the "devices" list is tied to the existence of SNMP. It is fundamentally not possible to put non-SNMP devices in there any more than it's possible to realistically put fish in an aviary.
If you need to ping non-SNMP capable devices, follow the guide in the documentation on how to add probes to the Observium-device entry.

Dear, We bought the license to monitor devices via ping-check (with the probe functionality). "Observium is designed to collect and display data from SNMP-capable devices, but not every device supports SNMP. In order to monitor non-SNMP capable devices, the probes system can be used to perform checks on non-SNMP devices". I am just wondering how we can add a device in observium that cannot handle snmp? _______________________________________________ observium mailing list -- observium@lists.observium.org To unsubscribe send an email to observium-leave@lists.observium.org
