Hello Randy,
how do i know what is latest? it claims to be at 5080, as is 25918 .
As of now, 5080 is the latest for hardware probes (v3 and up). For software (RPM, specifically) 5090 is available but it's only internally different from 5080. There are some indirect sources that can tell you this, but it's certainly easiest if we indicate (in the UI) if the probe is using the latest firmware. This is of course more meaningful for software probes, where the host has full control over this. We have that on our todo list, but we can give the same indication to hardware probe hosts as well.
I'd like to thank you for reporting this, since as a consequence we saw that other probes may experience similar issues and applied the same solution to those.
even though i realize i am being a pita, i always report problems because others might have them.
This mailing list (and the RIPE Forum, Twitter, ...) are not really the best venues for individual support; we have the ticketed atlas@ripe for that. However, in most cases it's hard to know in advance if something is an isolated case or not. While we *prefer* tickets, such a public ask for assistance is also ok. Robert
