Support for 'PING only' Devices

    Description

      To reiterate requests previously entered as OBS-454 and OBS-1147

      We need the ability to monitor "PING only" devices.

      Our purpose is to monitor network paths "outside" of the SD-WAN logical routes.  We can monitor the individual SD-WAN concentrators on the far end of the tunnel via SNMP; but we also need to be able to monitor the individual paths to each device.

            Hi @odmattvicari,

            Have you succeed in adding the "Probe"?. In my case the "Probe" can only be added to an existing device, which can be added if reply to snmp. And when added, it doesn't show the ping stats, only 1 (alive) or 0 (dead).

            @Hamdy916 you can find more info here https://docs.observium.org/probes/. Is under the "World" menu, below "Custom OIDs".

            FYI All - If you have the paid versions of Observium, there is a new "Probe" feature that allows for ping-only monitoring (among other things).

            We have several hundred Manufacturing devices that do not support SNMP, but need to be monitored for availability nonetheless.

             

            Adding PING-ONLY monitoring would be invaluable for us and make Observium our sole source of truth.

            Agreed, this would also be a useful feature for us.  Sometimes we have to monitor IPs that we don't fully own/manage, and would be nice to put them into observium.

            I know this could be worked around by monitoring an IP SLA on a router, but that is not ideal.

            Also interested in this. Would be nice to have a checkbox when adding the device to select "ping only" for simple up/down alerting and history. Smokeping integration also could be used for monitoring latency on ping only devices.

            We are interested in this functionality also.
