Happy 8th Birthday Probe 1046
by Matthew Moyle-Croft 20 May '19

20 May '19

HI, Saw on FB today that 8 years ago I received my v1 (1046) probe from Geoff Huston. It’s been running pretty much ever since allowing for some international moves and the occasional issue. I had a look, is there a way of figuring out the number of v1 probes still around? I know after 8 years a lot of had issues. MMC

RIPE Atlas for Saudi Arabia - how come so many abandoned?
by Martin Levy 10 May '19

10 May '19

Hi all, I have a basic question. If I look at the latest stats for Saudi Arabia and I see: https://atlas.ripe.net/results/maps/network-coverage/?filter=Saudi+Arabia+(… > Connected: 8 Disconnected: 4 Abandoned: 43 How can we fix the "abandoned" part? What part can an ambassador play in order to get abandoned probes back online? I could easily pick another country; however, I waned to do a measurement in KSA today, hence this is on my mind.

How to get people to actually plug in their probes?
by Philip Paeps 25 Apr '18

25 Apr '18

I had a conversation with a new probe host who was wondering how many of the probes I hand out "walk off" never to be seen again. Sadly, that's quite a lot of them in my case. I guess I need to find conferences with more reliable attendees? People promise to plug them in but then they get distracted. Or they move and the probes end up in boxes. How do other ambassadors twist their hosts' arms into actually plugging in probes? (And keeping them plugged in!) Philip -- Philip Paeps Senior Reality Engineer Ministry of Information

How to avoid double shipping?
by Anurag Bhatia 17 Apr '18

17 Apr '18

Hello everyone I have come across a case multiple times where someone requests for RIPE Atlas probe and by the time I reply back to them (say 2-3 days), they mention that they have requested for probe directly from RIPE NCC as well. Once I even came across a case where I had basic communication with the host and I called them just at the time of shipping as they missed to share their ZIP code and the host mentioned that they already applied for it to RIPE and thus I did not send it to them but that brings of risks of sending two probes in a scenario where we all struggle to ensure that probe we have sent actually comes online and stays online. I think RIPE sending probes directly is likely ineffective as it would involve much higher cost as well as time which is what ambassadors save (except say in case of the Netherlands or parts of Europe). Did anyone else come across this issue? How do you ensure that probe you are sending is not the second probe to an already shipped probe by RIPE? Thanks. -- Anurag Bhatia anuragbhatia.com

Dear Doc, Encouraging people has been a common problem. Here goes the the troubleshooting page: https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/troubleshoot-probe-issues/ I hope you've CC'ed that to the group. Luai E Hasnawi wrote: > Hi everyone, > Regarding probes failures, the procedure to fix it is been discussed earlier (I can not find the procedure to fix it). However, I do agree with you all regarding friends not connecting their probes. I thought about sending them the Probes YouTube video that describes the benefit of the probes but the video is not that interesting. And when I follow up with my friends about the status of their probes that all have the same answer (come and pick it up ). > I am really glad that we are discussing this issue.

Experience shows that some probes CANNOT be fixed following the troubleshooting procedures along with using new USB sticks, even on UPS power and backup internet links. Keeping them running is trickier than it seemed and we can't push our hosts to that extent all the time. That's why number of active probes barely exceeds 10k, despite the fact so many of them given out (around 40k I guess), plus efforts & resources put to keep them up & running all these years. > > Good developers of Atlas must seriously consider reviewing codes and algorithms, especially on the probe side of the deal (e.g. by limiting number of read/writes over memory sticks by mem cache & better utilization of online connection whenever possible, etc) > > Jonathan Brewer wrote: > > With so many failures due to USB issues, it’s hard to accurately assign blame for distributed probes that never come online. > To get the 40+ probes I distributed in the Pacific Islands online I sent hosts USB chargers, called and emailed, and reminded until they were plugged in - but then more than half failed. > On Sat, 31 Mar 2018 at 12:48, Philip Paeps <philip(a)trouble.is> wrote: > > I had a conversation with a new probe host who was wondering how many of > the probes I hand out "walk off" never to be seen again. > > Sadly, that's quite a lot of them in my case.
