Automating software probe creation?
by Steve Gibbard 04 Jan '21

04 Jan '21

I’m working on creating some Raspberry Pi-based software probes, to put in some networks that currently lack Atlas probes. I’d like to have a standard image that can come up and work wherever an individual probe lands, instead of needing to configure each one separately. As far as I can tell from the documentation, it looks like the probes are identified by the encryption keys in /var/atlas-probe/etc/probe-key* . If creating new probes from an image, is it sufficient to make each probe generate its own encryption keys, or are there other files that need to change? For registering the probes, I see a web form that requires being logged into a RIPE account, and don’t see any equivalent in the API documentation. Is there a way to register new software probes via the API? Thanks, Steve

Probes suffering DNS interception?
by Ray Bellis 15 Dec '20

15 Dec '20

Is there any RIPE policy about whether nodes that are subject to DNS interception should be excluded from results (or maybe even dropped altogether) ? While these probes are perhaps still useful for ping and traceroute tests, they are effectively useless for DNS related tests other than as a proxy measure for how prevalent that practise actually is. For the visualisation I've just been building based on the Root System's "hostname.bind" data returned by Atlas it was pretty difficult to figure out how to exclude those probes on the client side. If there was a heuristic that could be applied on the probe itself or within the RIPE data collector that tagged the probe as having "bad DNS" that would help a lot. cheers, Ray Bellis Director of DNS Operations, ISC.

Re: [atlas] Probe operator notifications
by ripe＠brite.cz 14 Dec '20

14 Dec '20

For this purpose I use an online ping check service. Your probe need to have IPv6 or public IPv4 and ICMP be not blocked by a firewall to be able to respond pings from outside. To be exact, I use http://wedos.online that is run by one of the largest server-hosting company in the Czech Republic. It is free of charge. You can choose how often (1 minute or more) it will ping the probe and how many pings can be lost, then it sends both DOWN and UP notifications (email, Slack, Rocket chat) Cheers Jiri ______________________________________________________________ > Od: "Ponikierski, Grzegorz" <gponikie(a)akamai.com> > Komu: "Edward Lewis" <edlewisjr(a)cox.net>, "ripe-atlas(a)ripe.net" <ripe-atlas(a)ripe.net> > Datum: 11.12.2020 12:16 > Předmět: Re: [atlas] Probe operator notifications > >+1 for 'your probe came back on-line' > >Regards, >Grzegorz > >From: Edward Lewis <edlewisjr(a)cox.net> >Date: Thursday 2020-12-10 at 22:32 >To: "ripe-atlas(a)ripe.net" <ripe-atlas(a)ripe.net> >Cc: Ed Lewis <edlewisjr(a)cox.net> >Subject: [atlas] Probe operator notifications > >(Seeing the thread about DNS intercepted probes reminded me to send this:) > >For 5 or so years running I have a probe operating in my garage (behind my home’s NAT and using the ISP’s NXDOMAIN rewriting, non-DNSSEC handling recursive server) a run-of-the-mill home cable set up. > >When I got my November report, it said I’d been down the last half of November.

Credit request
by Konstantin Averkin 04 Dec '20

04 Dec '20

Good afternoon, My name is Konstantin Averkin, and I am a Bachelor student of University of Twente. Currently, I am working on my thesis on resilience of DNS servers. In order to successfully perform the research, I need to do ping and trace route measurements against a series of DNS servers located all around the world. With this email I am writing to ask you to provide 20 million credits to perform measurements with the RIPE Atlas platform. Would that be possible? My account is linked to the same name and address as in this email. Thank you in advance. Kind regards, Konstantin Averkin

List of (scientific) publications using RIPE Atlas
by Moritz Muller 26 Nov '20

26 Nov '20

Hi everyone, A follow up to last week’s Atlas Open House: One of the speakers mentioned that the Wikipedia page of RIPE Atlas [1] lists a number of publications that made use of RIPE Atlas. This list is incomplete and I was wondering if there’s a page somewhere, maybe provided by RIPE NCC, where researchers can submit and list work that used Atlas in some way. This could give beginning researchers and students some inspiration. Maybe this page could also provide links to the measurements themselves for transparency. - Moritz [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIPE_Atlas

RIPE Atlas outage this evening
by Robert Kisteleki 25 Nov '20

25 Nov '20

Dear colleagues, Due to an internal misconfiguration, RIPE Atlas was unavailable between approximately 1:00-9:00 (UTC+1) this morning. This affected the UI, APIs, some internal tasks, and the scheduling of new measurements. Ongoing measurements were not affected. Our team is analysing the root cause and will take steps to prevent this issue from re-occurring. Regards, Robert Kisteleki RIPE NCC

Planned changes to "measurement archive"
by Robert Kisteleki 12 Nov '20

12 Nov '20

Dear RIPE Atlas users, You may be aware that we publish "measurement metadata dumps" on "FTP" (https://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/atlas/measurements/) every week. These are meant to make the complete measurement metadata downloadable for those who are interested. Even though there is still a point in publishing our metadata in a downloadable format, the current method is not sustainable: as it is defined it'll grow forever - which is not realistic. Currently *every* dump contains *all* the measurements we *ever* had in the system. We plan to change that to "everything that's running now + everything that was running in the last two weeks". This has about 200k items currently. If we published this every day instead of once a week, we will still only produce 10% of the output we do today - by virtue of eliminating 90% of redundancy and repeated work. The syntax and semantics of the content will not change. We will keep the existing dumps as they are mostly because there's no reason to remove them. What this means for users is: * if you care about "current / recent" measurements, you can just use the last dump from yesterday * if you really need all (or a large part of) history, you can fetch one dump per 2 weeks or so and combine them * you can still use the API for random, finite searches We plan to implement the above change just after RIPE 81 (i.e. early November). Please be aware of this change if you rely on these dumps. Regards, Robert

Meta-information dumps for built-in measurements?

Is there any repository like https://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/atlas/measurements/ that contains meta-information about built-in RIPE Atlas measurements (the above repository contains meta-information only for public measurements)? I couldn't find anything similar in the new FTP repository at https://data-store.ripe.net/datasets/atlas-daily-dumps/ I guess using the API is an alternative but it would be more convenient to have such dumps Thanks, Vasileios

Result processing glitch
by Robert Kisteleki 12 Oct '20

12 Oct '20

Dear RIPE Atlas users, Today one of our controllers (a component that handles probes and deals with their submitted results) was updated to run a new version of result processing code. Unfortunately this code had a bug that caused results to be mixed up. As a result, some of the results that were delivered by this controller were of the wrong type / syntax, which may result in errors in processing this data. We reverted this change as soon as we detected the error. This issue likely affected results delivered by about 2% of our probes, between 13:30 and 15:15 (CEST). We apologise for the inconvenience. Regards, Robert Kisteleki RIPE NCC

Invalid results in TraceMON tool
by Andreas Siskos 09 Sep '20

09 Sep '20

Hello everyone, I am an undergraduate student at University of Crete and as a part of my bachelor thesis, I am trying to integrate TraceMON in a website. I used the example code that it was provided by the web page of TraceMON in RIPE Atlas website ( https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/tools-tracemon/#embed) but I noticed something unexpected. The graph of the TraceMON was not taking the same path as the raw data of traceroutes. There were the right destinations/IPs, but in shuffled order. Let's consider the example of measurement ID 26813196. As you can see, in the raw data of the traceroute ( https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v2/measurements/26813196/results/) it reaches the target IP (103.83.160.1) at 16th hop from probe 55564. When I checked the graph in TraceMON on the RIPE Atlas website ( https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/26813196/#!tracemon) (see attached: general.png), the traceroute from probe 55564 was represented in the picture graph.png. As you can see in the data file data.png, the destination IP was reached at 3rd hop instead of 16th, that was in the raw data of the traceroute. The same behavior can be observed for the probes 19648 and 32788. Am I missing something? Thank you in advance, Andreas Siskos

How can I reduce data usage on remote satellite-connected islands?
by chris＠gare.co.uk 09 Sep '20

09 Sep '20

Hello all, I've just become an ambassador for the RIPE Atlas programme. I have a question. I wish to deploy a number of probes to remote low-capacity satellite connected islands. These islands have strict and VERY expensive monthly usage quotas. Looking at some probes already installed, I see that the minimum bandwidth (is that the term used?) is approximately 3.3kbit/s This equates to around 1GB of data per month which represent a significant percentage of a consumer's monthly quota. I'll have a hard job convincing volunteers to act as hosts if they consume that much. Is there a way I can set 'bandwidth' to less than 10kbs or is there a workaround I can use to reduce this under my control? It has been suggested that I could out a timer on the host but that is nonworkable! Any help would be appreciated as I know that reachability is quite unreliable at times and the data I could provide would be most interesting. Chris

Disabling TLS 1.0 and 1.1 on RIPE Atlas anchors
by Robert Kisteleki 01 Sep '20

01 Sep '20

Dear RIPE Atlas users, We received reports that the availability of TLS 1.0 and 1.1 on RIPE Atlas anchors triggers some security alarms for some anchor hosts. Since the anchors don't host anything sensitive, and the measurment code is not expected to be affected by this, we will stop supporting these protocols on the anchors (*) as of *1 September*. We'll carry on with supporting TLS 1.2 (*) the RIPE Atlas website/UI will be unchanged for the time being although we expect similar changes in the near future Regards, Robert Kisteleki RIPE NCC

Re: [atlas] [RIPE-NCC/ripe-atlas-software-probe] Software probes only connect to one controller? (#45)

Those controllers are kept separate from controllers for hardware probes. We placed both controllers at Hetzner and unfortunately, Hetzner seems to have some issues recently (or at least more than I remember). Typically a controller handles about 500 probes, so it will take some time before we will get controllers in other places in the world. > > Quite a bit of atlas backend logic depends on probes having just one controller at a time, so this is unlikely to change soon. > > Sending probes to different controllers happens automatically, but it happens on a time scale of around 6 hours. It seems that the issue at Hetzner was less than 2 hours. However, with all controllers for software probes at Hetzner, a long failure at Hetzner would indeed impact all software probes. In this case, why not have the software probes set up with a fall-back RIPE Atlas Anchor (controller)? E.g. - Setup a list of 2 or more Anchors in a hierarchical order, - If the software probe cannot reach the primary Anchor for more than 10-20 minutes., fall-back to the next Anchor reachable, - Retest connectivity to all configured anchors every 6 hours, - Revert to use the first reachable anchor in the locally configured list (a hierarchical order). * The above idea assumes an Anchor being able to temp. handle more than the default ~500 probes per Anchor, plus co-location diversity of >= 2 providers and >= 3 anchors. -- Chriztoffer

Far remote probe 34512 offline but partially works
by ripe＠brite.cz 27 Jul '20

27 Jul '20

Hi team, I have probe 34512 in distant location [not able to have it checked physically for some more time], it shows offline since 2020-07-21, no SOS messages listed since 2020-05-16. But other devices connected to the same router do work online, and also the router keeps sending me Log Messages via internet so its internet connection has to be working fine. Router log shows DHCP request getting from the Probe every 12 hours, as usually: 2020/07/27 18:51:44 Info 93-153-42-167.customers.tmcz.cz daemon dnsmasq-dhcp DHCPACK(eth1) 192.168.222.220 c0:25:e9:a8:57:96 2020/07/27 18:51:44 Info 93-153-42-167.customers.tmcz.cz daemon dnsmasq-dhcp DHCPREQUEST(eth1) 192.168.222.220 c0:25:e9:a8:57:96 The router itself is behind NAT and I'm not able to remote to it and proceed with further investigation. From the Log above I see the Probe is running and keeps requesting DHCP requests as usually, so not sure how it could show offline. Do you have any further logs or a way how to try to resurrect the Probe remotely? Thank you Jiri

probe offline/lock up
by Bryan Fields 06 Jul '20

06 Jul '20

I had an interesting alert yesterday, as my probe 54858 said it was offline. I was unable to ping it from the router port it's directly connected to, but did some some traffic on the port via the counters. There was a fresh ARP entry as well. I power cycled it and it came back online. I was then able to ping it via v4 after it DHCP'd it's address. v6 pings were working to it's SLAAC address too. It has not gone offline now, but I am noticing pings on v4 are not working at all again. v6 seems unaffected. Is this normal or is there a problem with my probe? I've never really taken this close of a look before, I'm unsure if it has an issue or if this is normal. Thanks, -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice http://bryanfields.net

retrieve past measurements
by Fabiano D'Agostino 29 Jun '20

29 Jun '20

Good evening, I am trying to retrieve streaming data as described in the guide here: https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/result-streaming/ I was able to retrieve the measurement results using stream_type="result", but when I try to retrieve past measurements with the startTime flag it is not working. How can I solve? Thanks in advance, Fabiano

New on RIPE Labs: Measuring IP Connectivity with RIPE Atlas
by Mirjam Kuehne 26 Jun '20

26 Jun '20

Dear colleagues, During a hackathon Branimir Petricevi and his colleagues at Leaseweb wanted to measure network performance that most accurately simulates a customer's experience with a network. They used RIPE Atlas to do that. Find out more in this new RIPE Labs article: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/branimir_petricevic/measuring-ip-connectivity… Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE NCC

Unauthorised probe transfers
by Paul Eagles 24 Jun '20

24 Jun '20

Hello, I've just had 2 emails saying that 2 of my software probes (numbers 1000305 & 1000137) have been transferred to LeaseWeb NOC. Both these probes (and another) live on LeaseWeb VPSs (one in NL, one in USA) but I haven't started or authorised a transfer. Before I go and shout at then, how could this have happened? Checking in 'My Atlas' it does indeed no longer show these as being my problems. Why would the good people at RIPE allow transfer of 2 of my probes without my approval? Yours, Paul.

dead v1 probe
by Gert Doering 22 Jun '20

22 Jun '20

Hi, have there been software updates for v1 probes recently? I've heard about a few v1 probes that have died "just last week" - mine among them (#461), fell off the net with "Firewall Problems Suspected", but it's no longer even ARPing properly (= either it totally lost its config and wants DHCP now, which there isn't in this network, or it just died)... So knowing whether this is a more widespread issue and possible reasons would help me to decide how much effort to invest in debugging this. gert -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...?
