Magellan report on built-in measurement 1
by Ernst J. Oud 09 Jan '23

09 Jan '23

Asked this question before but that post did not make it to the mailing list: Why can’t Magellan report on built-in measurement 1 (first hop)? It always shows “No packets found”. Met vriendelijke groet/Regards, Ernst J. Oud

Positively meant critique …
by Ernst J. Oud 09 Jan '23

09 Jan '23

LS. Is there a kind of common understanding what this mailing list is about? What its purpose is? I see important discussions such as those on private measurements but no conclusions… I ask questions that lead to response from a RIPE employee but not to answers/solutions… (For instance on why results from first hop measurement to ping.ripe.net cannot be reported on by Magellan.) Can RIPE give some explanation what the use for them is of this mailing list? Are there other entries into RIPE for support questions? Would some kind of forum not be a much better solution to discuss matters with probe “owners” instead of using old fashioned unstructured mailing lists… the way we did things when the internet was in its infancy?

New version of the WR802N probe write-up

Use TP-Link WR802N as an Atlas probe
by Ernst J. Oud 04 Jan '23

04 Jan '23

Hi, I promised to create a write-up on how to turn the low cost, energy efficient, TP-Link travel router WR802N into a fully functional Atlas probe. This write-up is now available at: http://www.kineta.nl/atlas/wr802n-write-up-v1.pdf Might be an idea perhaps to also mention the document somewhere on the RIPE Atlas blog pages? My email address is on the last page of the document for any questions. In case you wonder, kineta.nl is the (very, very old) website of my company before I retired. The .pdf is malware free (at least that is what Microsoft Defender says). If your house burns down following the actions in the document don't blame me. Happy hacking. Regards, Ernst

Updating software probe version (with .deb package)
by Seth David Schoen 31 Dec '22

31 Dec '22

Hi, I have a software probe which I installed by creating a Debian package from source (as described in INSTALL.rst). The documentation suggests that one should regularly update software probe versions, and I'm interested in upgrading mine -- I was reminded by my earlier question about 240/4, as I may be running a client version from prior to when the patch allowing 240/4 scans was merged. The documentation doesn't specifically mention how to upgrade; can I assume that making a new .deb from current sources, and then installing that with dpkg on a machine where an older .deb is installed, will maintain the credentials and identity of my existing probe? It won't wipe everything out and require me to re-register as a new software probe, right?

Probe 24434 down but pingable
by Dave 30 Dec '22

30 Dec '22

Hi, One of my probes is pingable but the status is disconnected for over a day. Could it be that it has troubles with DNS over IPv6 and that it is not smart enough to fall back to IPv4? https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/24434/#tab-general Thanks, Dave

Re: [atlas] A number of built-ins stopped?
by Ernst J. Oud 23 Dec '22

23 Dec '22

L.S. All the probes in NL that I had a look at, in a variety of different ASN’s, have no data available via the Atlas web of via the api (JSON, Magellan) for a.o. built-in measurement 1009 (ping to a.root-servers.net) and several others after December 22nd, around 18:00 hrs. UTC. When I have a look at German probes there is data available. This thus appears to be a problem with all and only Dutch probes’ data. A normal ping via a Windows command line works fine, i.e. a.root-servers.net is reachable. Creating a ping measurement via Magellan to a.root-servers.net using Dutch probes generates results, i.e. the probe infrastructure works but data storage does not, for data from probes in NL. Rather serious problem I guess. No mentioning on status.ripe.net though. Had an email conversation with Robert from the Atlas team today. No solution yet. Regards, Ernst J. Oud Met vriendelijke groet, Ernst J. Oud
