Hello,

we tried to build some monitoring with the Atlas ripe network but we were blocked because of the measure's prices.

Our goal is to ping an IP address every 5 minutes, with 3 packets from 3 countries in EU.

The UI of Atlas give theses cost :
#########################################
One-off mesure :
Costs
 
    PER PROBE
    6 credits for each result of a single probe
    6 credits per day per probe
 
    FOR ALL PROBES
    18 credits for 3 probes in total 
 
#########################################
5 min interval mesure :
Costs
 
    PER PROBE
    3 credits for each result of a single probe
    864 credits per day per probe
 
    FOR ALL PROBES
    2592 credits for 3 probes in total per day
#########################################



We have 3 Atlas probes, connected 24/24, 7/7, theses probes provide us 34 944 credits / day.

With theses credits we do :
6 One-off mesures, done every 5 mins
13 Regular mesures, 5 min interval


We were surprised at how few measures we could afford we 3 Atlas probes.

Are we missing something ?
Perhaps we are miss understanding what is Atlas for.

Regards.
