Major Description
Hello,
I am trying to add devices to Observium using API.
I also want to pass the corresponding poller_id, because we have 2x Observium Poller in our environment.
I saw in the official documentation that this is possible, but it doesn't work for me.
The device can be added, but no matter what poller ID I specify, it is ignored, the device is added and has poller_id 0 / default configured.
My call looks something like this.
curl -u <USER>:<PASSWORD> https://<OBSERVIUM_DNS_NAME>/api/v0/devices/ -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"hostname":"<DEVICE_DNS_NAME>", "snmp_community":"<SNMP_COMMUNITY_STRING>", "poller_id":"1"}' |
Where is my failure?

Hello,
you are right. I had overread that.
The output was as follows:
{"status":"ok","action_id":true,"message":"Device with hostname <DNS-NAME> added to queue [2] for addition on remote Poller [1] |
And after about 5 minutes it was then visible in the UI with the defined poller.
Thank you very much.
Please note, for remote pollers device not directly added to db, but added to poller queue.
After that discovery new on remote poller will try to addition this device.
(About failed/success will written eventlog message)
Wait, but this ability was already added in r11286.
Please show output from curl request
The API doesn't (yet? who knows) have access to the remote pollers, so has to insert into a queue in the database for remote pollers to pick up. Didn't realise this was already added to the API!
