Hi Matt, Thanks for the reply! I'm familiar with the tags, but don't see a tag for the architecture type (tp-link, nano pi et al.) on the hardware probes. I also wondered if there would be a way to filter on the probes search page: https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/ Thanks, Marty On Thu, 3 Sep 2020 at 15:22, Matt Parker <mparker@ripe.net> wrote:

Hi Marty,

RIPE Atlas uses "System Tags" to apply this type of information to individual probes.

Here is an example of a Software Probe: https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/1000278/

Here is an example of a V3 Hardware probe: https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/35433/

When creating new measurements you can choose to either include or exclude certain tags depending on what you are trying to achieve.

Hope this helps!

Kind regards, Matt

Posting to the list hoping somebody has already found the answer :)

Is there a way to filter by probe architecture, or perhaps software vs hardware probes?

(just discovering this old thread...) In the meantime, Steve has published an article about software VS hardware probes: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/stephen_strowes/reviewing-ripe-atlas-software-... Cheers, vesna On 03/09/2020 17:21, Stephen D. Strowes wrote:

Hi,

Probes should be tagged either as 'software' or with their hardware 'version', v[1-4]. V3 == tp-link, V4 == nanopi.

For the sake of reference and for the list, the hardware versions are described at the bottom of this page: https://atlas.ripe.net/about/probes/

The API will filter by tag if you ask it; for example, https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v2/probes/?tags=system-v4, or system-software, etc.

Cheers,

S.
