An article/FAQ entry about probe troubleshooting
by Ondřej Caletka 01 May '16

01 May '16

Hi all, it seems that failing probes are getting more and more to be an issue, possibly due to USB flash drive failure. I think it would be nice if there was an article / FAQ entry with some official troubleshooting procedures, so we could just send a link to anybody complaining about non functional probe. Is there something like this on the roadmap? Perhaps we as the community could make something up: - how to check whether the port probe is connected to has proper IP and DNS parameters and is allowed to establish a SSH session to TCP port 443 in the Internet (beware of DPI firewalls that allow HTTPS but not SSH over 443) - how to check the LED status and the SOS list at the probe page (the current LED explanation in the FAQ is too techy and even power users like me still don't understand all presented states :) ) - how to diagnose USB flash drive failure, how to force reformatting the flash drive and how to replace it with a new one What do you think? Cheers, Ondřej Caletka CESNET

Failing 4GB USB on v3 probes?
by Phillip Remaker 11 Apr '16

11 Apr '16

So far, I have had two of the SanDisk Cruzer 4GB drives (SDCZ33) fail, and I think I have two other ML-3020 (v3) devices with the same fate. Case #1, the drive fell into read only one. Case #2, the drive identifies to the USB, but read of block 0 (capacity) fails. The first time I called SanDisk and jumped through their hundred hoops to replace it.They were reluctant since I couldn't produce a receipt. This time, I just grabbed an old 8GB USB and dropped it in. Looks like it only uses 3GB. Does Atlas plan to pursue warranty claim, or is this an acceptable failure level for the probes?

Scheduling a test for all probes?
by Jared Mauch 06 Apr '16

06 Apr '16

Is there a way to schedule a one-off test on all the probes to be run “at a leisurely pace”, eg: looking up a specific DNS QNAME? (I’ll call it a lazy query/scheduling). - Jared

probe tagged as "system: Firewall problem suspected"
by sarah.wassermann＠student.ulg.ac.be 02 Apr '16

02 Apr '16

Hi, I have (once again) problems with my probe (probeID: 24102). This time, it got tagged as "system: Firewall problem suspected". The strange thing is that I did not touch anything on my router when this happened and did not change any other configuration... This probe is located in Luxembourg. I now brought it to Belgium and plugged it into the router I have here. Nothing changed. Furthermore, here in Belgium, its 3rd light is slowly blinking, which let's suppose that it gets tuck in the network-testing phase. Anybody knows how to fix this? (I already had some problems with that probe ("system: Hardware problem suspected") but I could solve them thanks to a hint given by a user.) My worst problem is that, due to this issue, we have difficulties earning enough credits for our research... So I would be really happy if this problem could be solved easily :( Thanks! Sarah

Implementing structured error reports ("Problem Details for HTTP APIs")?
by Stephane Bortzmeyer 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

Hello, IETF approved the future RFC draft-ietf-appsawg-http-problem "Problem Details for HTTP APIs" which standardize structured error reports (in JSON) to add machine-readable information to HTTP error codes. Would it be a good idea to convert current Atlas reports ({"error":{"status":400,"code":104,"detail":"__all__: Your selected prefix is not covered by our network.","title":"Bad Request"}}) to the new and standard format?

Querying your own measurements
by Sebastian Castro 09 Mar '16

09 Mar '16

Hi: I'm currently testing the API to get a list of my own measurements. The API here reports ----------- Querying for Your Own Measurements In order to limit the results to your measurements only, just add a mine=true argument. For example: /api/v1/measurement/?mine=true Note that this only works if you're logged in, otherwise the result is the same as for any unauthenticated user. ----------- This seems to imply you need to manage a session within your code to get your own measurements, which I think violates the principle of a REST API. If you have the API key that provides you with access, shouldn't be reasonable to run the call as /api/v1/measurement/?mine=true&key=API_KEY and get a list of your own measurements? Thoughts? Am I reading the documentation in the wrong way? Thanks in advance -- Sebastian Castro Technical Research Manager NZRS Ltd. desk: +64 4 495 2337 mobile: +64 21 400535

Hi, It seems atlas sends out ping with fragmentation allowed. Why is there no option to enable DF? Thanks, Dave.

The map of all anchor locations is available at: https://atlas.ripe.net/anchors/map/ You can access the anchoring measurements for all anchors at: https://atlas.ripe.net/anchors/list/ And here are the logos and links to hosting companies: https://atlas.ripe.net/get-involved/community/#!tab-anchor-sponsors We are still accepting new applications from organisations interested in hosting a RIPE Atlas anchor. We are particularly interested in deploying anchors in the Middle East, Western Asia, Latin America and Africa, in order to add more geographical diversity to the measurement data. There are more organisations that want to host a RIPE Atlas anchor but don’t have the necessary funding. To learn more about sponsoring an anchor, please contact us at mcb(a)ripe.net To apply for your own RIPE Atlas anchor: https://atlas.ripe.net/get-involved/become-an-anchor-host/ For any other questions, please contact us at atlas(a)ripe.net Regards, Michela Galante Measurements Community Building RIPE NCC
