It seems that the parameters used for an UDM are the same for all probes. For instance, I would like to do a DNS UDM with a different question for each probe, something like "%p.mydomain.example" where %p would be replaced by the Probe ID. Is it possible? Or do you think it would be a worthwile improvment?

Another solution would be of course an API to run measurements. Then, I would develop the feature, not the Atlas team :-)

Thank you for the suggestion! We're investigating this, but in the meantime can you explain what particular problem would this solve?

I have good news for you: we have such an API, and we'll document and publish it soon. Regards, Robert

I want to investigate public anycast resolvers like Google Public DNS. I send a query to 8.8.8.8 for a domain I control. On the authoritative name server, I see the requests, I see the IP address of the resolver, I don't know which probe was responsible since they all use the same question (QNAME, in DNS parlance).
