L.S. It might be “cursing in the church” as we say in NL, but does anyone here have experience with the Globalping monitoring tools? Not as comprehensive as Atlas and a lot less probes but at first glance it has some useful features. Your thoughts? Regards, Ernst J. Oud

https://www.jsdelivr.com/globalping ? No real practical experience but it seems interesting. The API is well documented and a shell script as simple as: curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ --data-binary @- \ https://api.globalping.io/v1/measurements \ <<EOF { "limit": 10, "locations": [], "target": "ayla.bortzmeyer.org", "type": "ping", "measurementOptions": { "packets": 3 } } EOF is enough to launch a measurement. You can see the resulting JSON at https://api.globalping.io/v1/measurements/bqXml2MiDAoawobv if you want an idea.
I've used it several times to run traceroute measurements from different places. As Stephane mentioned, quite straightforward, well-documented and easy to use. It's also free of charge, with no rate limiting (afaik). It leverages the jsDelivr pops, which itself uses a few other CDNs for placement iirc.
