In the old interface, the "Target" field allows us to choose from a drop-down list of anchors/ringnodes. But in the new interface, the "Target" field is just a text field. Given, as a user, I do not know the hostnames of all anchors, would it be possible to bring the drop-down anchor list feature back? Thanks. -- Regards, Steffie _______________________________________________ Steffie Jacob Eravuchira Research I, Room 91 Computer Networks and Distributed Systems (CNDS) Lab School of Engineering and Sciences Jacobs University Bremen, Germany

I just had a chance to look at the beta for the MeasurementUI. Is there a specfic reason why RIPE is using the very low-contrast light grey letters on a white background? Why make it more difficult to read?

New measurement UI
by Gilles Massen 03 Nov '14

03 Nov '14

Hello, I'd like to give a bit of early feedback to the new atlas UI. All in all it's nice, but I have trouble with the measurement creation in two points: Selection of probes: I like the selecting via map, but usually something like "50 out of central europe" is good enough. If that is possible, how would you do that? A bug about credit evaluation: trying to create a measurement with DNS6 queries for hostname.bind CH TXT with more than a handful of probes (roughly 50-70 probes I guess) fails as the interfaces believes this to require over 1000000 credits. As for map representation (which I use quite often), I think I prefer the old map without aggregation. But that's quite personal. BTW, the new one seems to fail on response diversity for DNS. best, Gilles

Atlas system tags
by Matteo Bonora 01 Nov '14

01 Nov '14

Hello, I have an atlas probe (#14602) connected to my home network. It has fully working IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity, but the only system tags assigned to it are "V3" and "IPv4 Works". Why the tags "Resolves A Correctly", "Resolves AAAA Correctly" and "IPv6 Works" are not assigned to my probe? I have read the requisites for these tags into the documentation and I didn't find anything that the probe should not be able to do. There is something I can do to verify and fix the situation? Thanks in advance for your help! Matteo
