Adding IPv6 only hosts to Observium

I was trying to add a LES IPV6-only VPS to my Observium installation and received the following error:

 /opt/observium/add_device.php LES admin_boxes   Observium CE 0.14.11.6000
Add Device(s)

Try to add LES:
Could not resolve LES.
Devices skipped: 1.

However the IP was set up properly in my /etc/host file:

 ping6 LES
PING LES(LES) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from LES: icmp_seq=1 ttl=56 time=89.5 ms
64 bytes from LES: icmp_seq=2 ttl=56 time=84.1 ms
64 bytes from LES: icmp_seq=3 ttl=56 time=81.7 ms
64 bytes from LES: icmp_seq=4 ttl=56 time=98.4 ms
^C
--- LES ping statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 3001ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 81.794/88.495/98.462/6.408 ms

Has anyone had success adding an IPv6-only VPS to Observium? I have used com2sec6 for my SNMP agent configuration.

    I was monitoring some IPv6 online devices. Had no problems (but you need a fqdn).

    did you use com2sec or com2sec4? And you configured the fqdn at the domain level? (i.e., actually have a real domain/subdomain with an AAAA record?)

    My snmpd config:

    agentAddress udp6:161

    Thats it. I configured a subdomain (zrh-dns-a.xyz.net) with one single AAAA.

    Tried to set up an AAAA in Cloudflare (have CF disabled just in case) and added the FQDN in adddevice.php but that didn't seem to work.
