We'll have 0.0 info about the device though, and we won't even know if the SNMP community is correct, ever -- if it's not, device will stay offline forever.
If it's useful to people I don't mind supporting it, although it's obviously have to be a specific override that is not default :)

I’m in favor of having an offline device add option. We would be able to add the device to Observium as part of the normal provisioning workflow, instead of post activation.

Hmm... I'm not sure about this. What do other people think?

As they’re offline, I’ll be unable to add them to Observium until they respond to SNMP / ICMP. Is there a way I could add these proactively, and work around the error that Observium pushes our by default? Ideally, I’d like to add them all now, disable their alerts, and enable them when they’re deployed and connectivity is in place. I see you have a Ignore RRD checkbox on the add device page. I wonder if we could have another that says, “Add even though device is offline”? As always, thank you for your feedback and time on this.
