Hi, I know this has been asked and answered before, but I cannot find anywhere to search old threads, so I need to ask again....
How do I configure Observium to monitor a device with ping but no SNMP ability?
Thanks Tony

This is mentioned in the probes documentation. Just create ICMP probes on the Observium-server entry (or the closest partitioned poller)
We might do something specific at some point, but it'll basically just be the same thing but with the probes separated into a different list.

Adam, I have been looking at probes, but the thing I don’t understand is how to add a probe when the device is not listed in Observium. I tried to overwrite the pulldown, but it does not allow that. Is there a way to add a device to the list?
