Linking to measurements?
by Brian Rak 28 Jan '14

28 Jan '14

Is there any real way to send someone a link to a measurement? I've figured out how to send them links to individual RRD detail pages (https://udm01.atlas.ripe.net/atlas/udm_graph_history.html) but not a link to the overall public measurement. The UI is all AJAXy, so I haven't seen any obvious places to pull a link out of.

BIX (HU) has joined RIPE Atlas anchors
by Michela Galante 28 Jan '14

28 Jan '14

Dear RIPE Atlas users, We're happy to announce that another RIPE Atlas anchor has joined the network and is now available as a target for probe hosts conducting their own user-defined measurements. The new anchor is called hu-bud-as12303 and it is hosted by BIX in Budapest, Hungary on behalf of RIPE NCC since they are one of our K-root hosts. Anchoring measurements (ping, ping6, traceroute and traceroute6) are scheduled towards this anchor from all the other anchors as well as several hundred probes, providing a continual overview of regional reachability. Results of these measurements are available as raw data in JSON format, and visualised on the map and "seismograph" with many configurable features. You can access the anchoring measurements for all anchors at: https://atlas.ripe.net/anchors/list/ Learn more about RIPE Atlas anchors at: https://atlas.ripe.net/about/anchors/ Thank you for participating in RIPE Atlas!

measurement start_time and stop_time fields
by Matt Calder 17 Jan '14

17 Jan '14

Hi, For the filter fields such as start_time__lt, stop_time__gte the API at https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/rest/ claims that a unix timestamp should be valid for these but I am seeing the error message "'1389655981' value has an invalid format. It must be in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM[:ss[.uuuuuu]][TZ] format." I was trying with this query: https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v1/measurement/?limit=20&type=2&format=txt&use_i… Thanks, Matt

probe status "abandoned" - "garbage collect" attempt?
by Wilfried Woeber 16 Jan '14

16 Jan '14

Dear community, as a side-effect of looking at maps and country-related info, I recognised that there's a considerable number of probes in our country which are marked as "abandoned". We may be able to follow up on some of them. Looking at https://stat.ripe.net/widget/atlas-probes#w.resource=AT and switching to table view, I'm missing the AS# column. Being able to search for "our" ASes would be nice. Thanks, Wilfried PS: a text / table version that can be saved locally and then subjected to a 'grep' would be nice, too. PPS: the sort function by address family is really nice!

"funny" comment in pop-up display for a measurement? (v4/v6 addr mismatch)
by Wilfried Woeber 16 Jan '14

16 Jan '14

Some more digging and some more confusion? Logged in, looking at "My measurements", selecting 1033944, a traceroutev6. Bringing up the Map tab, clicking on the green balloon in Bremen (Probe ID 13255) with the *2* (hops) in it, pop-up comes up. Nice! But the *-comment at the bottom puzzles me, by saying: * The last address does not match the target IP (192.153.174.196) This is sort of obvious, as the address referred to is 2001:6f8:114e:4::1 What's the background for this behaviour?

UDM display, session expiration
by Wilfried Woeber 16 Jan '14

16 Jan '14

Just an observation... I started a TR6 connectivity measurement against our Anchor, late in the evening yesterday and had the measurement panel open. Trying to reload today I was left with the "fan" spinning, not showing anything. It turns out, that my session was expired and trying to pull up the summary got me logged-in again. Then the reload for #1410005 also worked again. I am wondering, whether it would be possible to "force" a re-login by hitting the "reload" button on top-right of the measurement display panel? Cheers, Wilfried

Atlas credits
by Imre Szvorenyi 15 Jan '14

15 Jan '14

Hey Guys, Just a small thing I've noticed recently. When I open the 'My Atlas -> Credits' submenu, the number of current credits with big blue numbers are different to (less than) the one that can be seen in the History->Balance lines under it. Please note that I have no running jobs or anything like that. I'm hosting 3 probes, and by the look of the history, my credits are updated after 2. Is this a bug or I just missed something, please?

synch delay for Coverage Map?
by Wilfried Woeber 15 Jan '14

15 Jan '14

Hi folks, just out of curiosity, what are the intervals or the delay for updates to the "Global RIPE Atlas Network Coverage" map? [1] We just got the 1st probe connected in Cuba, thanks to the ambassador program, and I can see it as on-line. But it is not yet visible on the Coverage Map. Cheers, Wilfried [1] https://atlas.ripe.net/results/maps/network-coverage/

Measurement history "smoke ping style"
by Alex Saroyan 13 Jan '14

13 Jan '14

Hi, There is very useful "smoke ping style" RTT history for all Built-in measurements but I can't find such for User Defined Measurements (seismograph is not the same). I hope that such "smoke ping style" history/graph is available and I simply can't find it. If really no - then I desperately wish such feature to be implemented by Atlas team. -- Regards. /Alex Saroyan

Proposing more public RIPE Atlas data and clarifying the current situation
by Vesna Manojlovic 10 Jan '14

10 Jan '14

Dear colleagues, Sharing information about Internet performance is at the heart of collaborative efforts such as RIPE Atlas. Most of the RIPE Atlas probes and RIPE Atlas measurements are already public, and we'd now like to suggest opening up the publication of RIPE Atlas data further. We also want to clarify exactly what is and isn't public in the current system. We describe this in more detail in this RIPE Labs article, where we also ask for community feedback about our suggested plan to move forward: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/proposing-making-ripe-atlas-data-more-p… Our proposed plan is to make all *new* measurements and technical information about the *new* probes public from an agreed upon date in the future. We propose implementing this change in mid-April. All probes and measurements that were not marked "public" by April 2014 would remain non-"public". For a detailed description of what this means, please see the RIPE Labs article (above). Although we believe that having public measurement data contributes to the goal of RIPE Atlas, the RIPE NCC greatly values our users' privacy. We want to ensure you that we will continue to protect our probe hosts' personal information. We look forward to your feedback and comments on the MAT Working Group Mailing List.

call for help or ptr to doc - saving graphs?
by Wilfried Woeber 10 Jan '14

10 Jan '14

Apologies, if this has been discussed before or should be obvious from some documentation... So here we go: In the "good old days" (no I prefer the current state :-) ) it was asy to get hold of the extended graphs by simply clicking onto the graph in the summary page and then do "save" or "save as". Since the (better, interactive,...) graphs are generated locally, I failed to come up with a method to "get hold" of the graph, for storing locally, printing, whatever. I just today tried to hit "print" in the browser, but the page seems to be inadequately structured/formatted for printing. The result is gaebage all over. Does anyone have a pointer or suggestion for me, sort of "better" than doing a screen shot and then work with the pixels? TIA, Wilfried

graph generation stopped on 9.1.2014

It looks like the generation of graphs to be displayed on the summary page for my probes stopped at some point in time, today, Jan. 9. Before around noon it was working, now they are gone. Probes affected: 414, 466, 6009 Any hints? Wilfried

Atlas F.ROOT ping
by Peter Gervai 09 Jan '14

09 Jan '14

Hello, Atlas helped me today first to see a hard-to-detect bug: F-root anycast algo works fine for v4 but fails miserably for v6, as instead of AMSterdam it sends all traffic to some remote island in the pacific. ;-) Seems to be the reverse true for M-root: ipv4 sends me off to nowhere land while v6 is great. A-root follows the F-suit. (C-root is not a good avertisement valie for Cogent, with v4 only address and considerable ongoing pkt loss.) Thanks! Peter
