### Ping Only Device

You can add ping only devices into LibreNMS through the WebUI. When adding the device switch the SNMP button to "off".
Device will be added into LibreNMS as Ping Only Device and will show ICMP Response Graph.

- Hostname: IP address or DNS name.
- Hardware: Optional you can type in whatever you like.
- OS: Optional this will add the Device's OS Icon.
