Feature request - externalize packet loss in ping measurement UI
by Gil Bahat 10 Feb '16

10 Feb '16

Hi, looking at the JSON data, there is a field for the amount of received packets vs the requested, but at the measurement UI it is not reflected. it'd be great if this can be displayed (e.g. 'x% packet loss' as one of the columns). Regards, Gil Bahat, Director of Online Operations, Magisto Ltd.

List of my measurements via API
by Luke Overend 09 Feb '16

09 Feb '16

Hi all, I have searched the docs and tried everything I can think of but I cannot get a list of my measurements via the API. Can anyone provide me details on how to do this? If it is not currently possible how do I go about requesting the feature?

Revamped RIPE Atlas website launched today
by Robert Kisteleki 04 Feb '16

04 Feb '16

Dear all, We’re excited to announce that a revamped RIPE Atlas website launches today, so you can expect to see some changes when you visit atlas.ripe.net. We know that it can take some time to get used to change, but we think the new site is a big improvement over the old one and that you’ll find it quicker and easier to access the information you want. Some of the main features include proper landing pages for each section with quick links to the most relevant information, a restructured menu that includes a few new sections, including “Measurements, Maps and Tools”, “Probes and Anchors” and “Resources”, an improved dashboard overview of all of your probes and measurements under “My Atlas”, and faster data tables that you can now search. You can learn more about the revamped site and the reasons behind the change in this RIPE Labs article: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/the-revamped-ripe-atlas… Take some to look around and let us know what you think. We hope you’ll like what you see. Of course, we’ve done our best to ensure that all links are working properly, but if you happen to spot anything that looks wrong or broken, please let us know at atlas(a)ripe.net. Regards, Robert

API (v1) querying probes by ID
by Wenqin SHAO 03 Feb '16

03 Feb '16

Dear list, I have the impression that querying probes by ID returns unexpected results. An example is: https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v1/probe/?id=1 <https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v1/probe/?id=1> As a result, I get the entire probe list: "meta": { "total_count": 16973, "use_iso_time": false, "next": "/api/v1/probe/?id=1&limit=100&offset=100", "limit": 100, "offset": 0, "previous": null }, And ID 1 is an valid ID, which corresponds to the first entry of results: "id": 1, "type": "Probe", "is_public": false, "first_connected": "2010-10-29T15:53:03Z", "last_connected": "2016-02-03T10:02:28.407276Z", "is_anchor": false, "address_v4": null, "address_v6": null, "asn_v4": 3265, "asn_v6": 3265, "country_code": "NL", "prefix_v4": "212.238.0.0/16", "prefix_v6": "2001:980::/29", Regards, wenqin

Probe uptime?
by Max Mühlbronner 01 Feb '16

01 Feb '16

Hi, i suspect that there is a problem with my atlas probe, sometimes it is just gone / offline for ~10 minutes (more or less) although there is clearly no issue on the network. Other checks and monitoring works fine at the same time and shows about 100% uptime... I am not sure how to investigate, is there any chance to check the uptime of the probe and not just connection time? Maybe the device is hanging or rebooting?

API (v1) querying probes--does stats_name field count and possibility of negative selection
by Wenqin SHAO 28 Jan '16

28 Jan '16

Dear list, I encountered some unexpected results when selecting probes with status_name filed. An example is given below: https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v1/probe/?country_code=BG&tags=system-v3,datacen… <https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v1/probe/?country_code=BG&tags=system-v3,datacen…> 8 results were returned containing probes that are abandoned, as well disconnected and connected. To nail down the problematic field, I tried following queries: https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v1/probe/?status_name=Connected https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v1/probe/?status_name=Abandoned https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v1/probe/?status_name=Disconnected https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v1/probe/?status_name=Haha Exactly same number of probes, 16889, are return with each of these quests, which makes me wonder whether the status_name filed is actually taken into consideration? One other issue, is to negatively select probes according to some fields, especially tags filed, for example, probes do not contain home tag. I’d like to know if such selection logic is supported by v1 API? If yes, how to compose the query? If not, would it be considered in v2 API? A bunch of thanks in advance. Regards, Wenqin Telecom ParisTech

No Ethernet activity on new probe
by Marat Khalili 28 Jan '16

28 Jan '16

Dear All, I have received my probe yesterday morning (V3, like shown on https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/probe-v3/ ), connected and registered it. Unfortunately, not only no measurements or IP address information appeared in my profile after waiting several hours, but there's no Ethernet activity from probe at all, even in the packet trace. Things I tried: * 3 different switches (Fast and Gigabit types); in all cases a notebook running either Windows or Ubuntu when connected into the same socket acquires IP address just fine and can browse the Internet. * 3 different LAN cables; in all cases switches detect 100 Mbps physical wire but nothing more. * 2 different DHCP servers as well as wireshark on direct connection. * 3 different power sources (1A phone charger, notebook 2xUSB, PC USB). * Removing and re-inserting the USB flash key that came with the device, dd'ing its contents to a different USB flash and inserting it instead (dd finished successfully). Every time after the boot sequence ends first light glows steadily and adjacent one blinks slowly, like it is supposed to be according to https://atlas.ripe.net/about/faq/#what-do-the-lights-on-the-side-of-the-pro… . Looks like the interface just isn't up in the device OS. Is there anything else I can check? Should I request another probe? (it took more than month to receive first one by post) -- With Best Regards, Marat Khalili

500 Probe limit
by Marco Slater 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Hello, I’ve been doing some tests on anycasted networks, and I’ve been hitting an error which doesn’t allow me to assign more then 500 probes to a measurement, is there a way to have this unlocked? I presume it is a default protection to not cause issues to hosts being probed? Thank you. :) - Marco

HTTP measurements at willing targets / protocol suggestion
by Gil Bahat 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Hi, We are interested (like many others, I guess) in the ability to perform HTTP measurements at our own non-anchored network. Understanding the potential for abuse, I would like to suggest the following authentication protocol, which is based on best practices exhibited by other services with such potential (abuse or privacy implications). 1. Confirm control of the domain registration: * This is usually done by mailing the technical contact for the relevant WHOIS entry with a confirmation email containing a unique hash, thus validating ownership. 2. Confirm control of the DNS servers: * This is usually done by editing the root TXT record with a unique hash or publishing a CNAME with unique hash. 3. Confirm control of the Web servers: * This is usually done by placing a uniquely-hashed file in the webserver root directory, a unique hash in the meta-tags for the index html file or a unique value in a file such as robots.txt. I believe this protocol is sufficient to ensure that a web site owner agrees to the implications of allowing free HTTP measurements against their servers and that no unwilling server will ever be probed. At most during the protocol, the only resource that can be hit is a static file or robots.txt specifically, which has very little capability to overwhelm a web server, especially if negative responses are cached for a considerable amount of time / validation is done via a few nodes and propagated across the network. thoughts/ideas welcome.

LLDP Support for RIPE Probes
by Annika Wickert 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Hi everybody, I would like to see LLDP support in the future on the RIPE probes. It would be a really helpful feature, to see on what Port the RIPE Probe resides at the moment. Cheers, Annika
