I'm personally not that familiar with Observium but I was under the impression that you only needed to install that on the clients?

It does have the non-daemon version of the tools AFAIK. I.e. it has the snmp package installed, not the snmpd package.

You should be able to add clients via the cli. Adding clients via the WebUI is not enabled intentionally. See the post on our Issue Tracker.

As someone pointed out further down in that thread, clients need to be added via domain name, not IP. I'm not sure if that was perhaps your issue?

If so and you don't have a local DNS you can configure then a dirty workaround might be to add the clients to your Observium server hosts file? Obviously the clients will need static IPs for that to work reliably.
