[Feature Request] Show probe address on failure notifications
I recently received one an email indicating one of my probes is offline: This is the second reminder that your probe (#20689 ) is not connected to our infrastructure and has been disconnected since 2015-09-14 09:37 UTC. Could you please check whether everything is set up correctly on your side? If it is, and your probe is still reported as disconnected when you log in at https://atlas.ripe.net, please reply to this email so that we can follow up. Is there any way these can be modified to include further information (like the probe's address, or basically anything about it)? Probe 20689 means nothing to me, so I have to log in to take a look at exactly what it is, and where I need to go to fix it.
We can do better than that. You already have the option to name your probe whatever you like, so you can label it “The one in Dad’s basement” and then the next time you get that email, it’ll include the name instead of just “Probe #20689”. So, to edit the probe name, just log into RIPE Atlas go to your probe page <https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/20689/>, then click the |Edit| button (screenshot attached). The form that appears includes a |Name:| field. Fill that in with whatever you like and then click |Save|. The new name is now applied, and will appear at the top of the page the next time you visit. All emails that mention this probe will now use this new name.
Ah, that's very helpful. Thanks. On 10/16/2015 5:16 AM, Daniel Quinn wrote:
