Looking for credit sponsor for Master's Thesis measurements
by jkb 05 Mar '26

05 Mar '26

Hi! My name is Jakob Bork and i am currently writing my Master's Thesis on the general topic of MASQUE which includes DNS and Traceroute measurements towards service entrypoints. I already ran a couple of measurements with interesting results but need to keep them going and schedule some new for comparison. My current credit balance won't suffice sadly. Could someone sponsor me with 10-12 million credits? I will gladly name you as sponsor in the thesis and share results afterwards. ripe atlas mail: ja.b(a)fu-berlin.de Thank you! Jakob

Credit Sponsoring for DNS Research
by Richter, Robert 03 Mar '26

03 Mar '26

Hello everybody, Currently, we’re working on DNS data for Starlink. Sadly, I have already burned through all 20M of my RIPE Atlas credits, but I would like to continue my measurements. Further measurements would probably require around 35M credits. If somebody has some spare credits lying around, I’d be happy to put them to good use 😊 My RIPE Atlas Mail: robert.richter(a)rrcomtech.com Thanks in advance! Best regards, Robert

Probe v3 SW Corrupted
by ripe＠brite.cz 26 Feb '26

26 Feb '26

Hi team, I have issue with probe 34512, on atlas.ripe.net it keeps showing Flash Drive Filesystem Corrupted. I tried 4 different USB flash disks, all proven working elsewhere, even tried to swap this probe with another probe's power supply + network + USB drive, no matter what I do it keeps in the bad state. When no USB drive connected it correctly shows NO-USB SOS messages, when I plug any USB drive it will correctly detect and show its name and properties, such as Size=15155200 ro=0 SerialNumber=C860008862F0CF610A0D3704 Vendor=0930 ProdID=6544 Rev= 1.00 Manufacturer=Kingston Product=DataTraveler 2.0 or Size=242024448 ro=0 SerialNumber=07210B4816170B42 Vendor=13fe ProdID=6000 Rev= 1.10 Manufacturer= Product=Patriot Memory but still no go. The lights on the probe are [on] [off] [slow blinking] [fast blinking] [on (button one)]. If the internal firmware is corrupted, is there a way how to resurrect it? Cheers from Czechia Jiri

RootViz Dashboard
by Giovane C. M. Moura 26 Feb '26

26 Feb '26

Folks, [Sorry for cross posting] We’ve just published a new open dashboard called RootViz[0]. It shows real-time data from all RIPE Atlas probes, letting you see reachability and latency between probes and each Root Server over IPv4 and IPv6. It’s a useful complement to DNSMON[1]: DNSMON uses only Atlas anchors, whereas RootViz uses all probes (Atlas does the heavy lifting of measuring ever server every 4min, we just process it and visualise it). We published a short blog describing it too[2]. If you’re interested in how the root servers are performing globally, this should be a handy tool. Any ideas, feedback or suggestions are more than welcome. (We are looking into releasing it open-source, as it can be used to monitor any DNS service -- we do this for one of the .nl authoritatives) Thanks, /giovane -- SIDN Labs [0] https://rootviz.sidnlabs.nl [1] https://dnsmon.ripe.net/ [2] https://www.sidnlabs.nl/en/news-and-blogs/rootviz-new-root-dns-reachability…

missing probe
by Cristel Pelsser 19 Feb '26

19 Feb '26

Dear all, Do you know how I can reassign a software probe to myself? I do not see my software probe. I tried to re-add it but it won’t let me. The portal says the key already exists. The probe may be paired with my former email address. Best, Cristel

DNS Root Server Result Stream Visualisation not working
by Wessels, Duane 11 Feb '26

11 Feb '26

I wonder if the Atlas team knows that the RIPE Atlas DNS Root Server Result Stream Visualisation is no longer working? A web browser console shows this error: Loading failed for the <script> with source “https://atlas-stream.ripe.net/socket.io.js”. dns-instances.html:47:62 Uncaught ReferenceError: io is not defined getSocket https://sg-pub.ripe.net/demo-area/atlas-stream/dns-instances.html:52 <anonymous> https://sg-pub.ripe.net/demo-area/atlas-stream/dns-instances.html:144 DW

Hello, I haven't changed anything on the small device where I installed the Atlas Probe. Why is it offline? I have attached the log.

FreeBSD/MacOS probe
by Jared Mauch 12 Jan '26

12 Jan '26

I’m looking for people to test out my attempted FreeBSD/MacOS changes to shift a few calls to POSIX compliant and other tweaks to make it build on other operating systems. You can try to build from this git repo: https://github.com/jaredmauch/ripe-atlas-software-probe I would request comments go here: https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/ripe-atlas-software-probe/pull/135 Or possibly in this issue which originated from someone else, but the recent note from Randy had me look at the codebase. https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/ripe-atlas-software-probe/issues/123 Hopefully this is useful and might be able to be merged back in, but I know this may cause some troubles due to the busy box parent as well. - Jared

Atlas UI updates 2026-01-05
by Stephen Suess 05 Jan '26

05 Jan '26

Happy New Year, We have just released an update to the Atlas frontend with several new features to help you customise and explore your measurement data. Dashboard customisation: You can now show or hide cards on your dashboard using the new preferences button at the top of the page. This lets you tailor your dashboard to show only the items you use most. Khipu-style popups: We've brought the interactive popups from our Khipu visualisation to more places across Atlas. These popups are significantly faster than our previous popups and provide detailed, draggable information panels in the measurement details overview (all types), the results tab (traceroute and DNS), and QuickLook. DNS resolver details: When viewing DNS measurement results, you can now click on the info button in the new details column to see the complete DNS response (for all resolvers) in a dig-style format, including all flags and sections. Historical data archives for Khipu: Khipu can now pull archived IP2ASN, IXP, IP2Country, and ASN2Country data when viewing older measurements (back to Sept 2025). This means you get more accurate lookups based on the data as it was at the time of your measurement, rather than current data. You can configure how many archive snapshots to keep locally in your preferences. You can see the full list of what has changed in the release notes: https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/releases/website_index/2026-01-05 As always, we welcome your feedback and would love to know what you think. Kind regards, Stephen Atlas UI

New Path Analysis tool and Atlas UI update
by Stephen Suess 18 Dec '25

18 Dec '25

Hi Atlas friends, We have just released an update to the Atlas frontend with a few fixes and tweaks and most importantly a new standalone path analysis tool. This tool leverages our recent work on the traceroute comparison component that we are embedding in various places within Atlas (such as the probe detail results page). You can read about this new tool on labs.ripe.net: https://labs.ripe.net/author/stephen_suess_1/introducing-path-analysis-a-ne… Or you can jump straight to the docs to learn how to configure it with all the params: https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/tools-and-code/path-analysis You can also see the full list of what has changed in the release notes: https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/releases/website_index/2025-12-18 As always, we welcome your feedback and would love to know what you think. Kind regards, Stephen Atlas UI
