Observium can't resolve host, but I can ping it

./add_device.php 1.2.3.4 catalyst v1

fails with

Try to add 1.2.3.4:
Could not resolve 1.2.3.4.
Devices failed: 1.

but ping works

fping 1.2.3.4
1.2.3.4. is alive

but snmpwalk works like:

snmpwalk -v 1 -c catalyst 1.2.3.4
iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0 = STRING: "Cisco IOS Software, Catalyst...
...

web interface add device also fails same way. what am I missing?

The community edition can't resolve IP's (go figure), so you have to create an entry in /etc/hosts for your IP and assign somename.whatever to it and then use that hostname and it will work.
