Detecting additional information from the probes
by Christoph Rauterberg 15 Feb '16

15 Feb '16

Ahoi everyone, I am currently trying to asses the behaviour of DNS queries between clients and authentication servers - and I would love to trace some DNS pakets between the probes and my server. I was wondering, if there is some way to get the information about the Authentication Bit of DNSSEC specified in the DNS query headers. A.f.a.i.k., the probes do something similiar/do a /dig/ lookup. /dig/ does provide information about the DNSSEC-section - and furthermore it has a very handy /+trace/ option. Can anyone maybe tell me, if there are possibilities to access the AUTH bith or even something like a trace function via the probes? Or should I open a feature request for that? Help much appreciated! :-) Best regards, Chris

Triggering traces from probes in specific cities
by Anurag Bhatia 10 Feb '16

10 Feb '16

Hello everyone, I was looking at possible command line tool to trigger traces from Atlas from given city or that area. The closest I can see is RIPE Atlas Tools - https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/ripe-atlas-tools but these let to only put source country or region. 1. Is anyone aware of how one can trigger traces via CLI from specific cities? *(I would love to do trace from a nearby city if specific city does not have Atlas coverage)* 2. In the Ripe Atlas Tools I see in documentation it refers to an argument "[--paris paris]". Is anyone aware of what does it mean? It seems to be asking for an integer value. Thanks in advance! -- Anurag Bhatia anuragbhatia.com

Feature request - externalize packet loss in ping measurement UI
by Gil Bahat 10 Feb '16

10 Feb '16

Hi, looking at the JSON data, there is a field for the amount of received packets vs the requested, but at the measurement UI it is not reflected. it'd be great if this can be displayed (e.g. 'x% packet loss' as one of the columns). Regards, Gil Bahat, Director of Online Operations, Magisto Ltd.

Revamped RIPE Atlas website launched today
by Robert Kisteleki 04 Feb '16

04 Feb '16

Dear all, We’re excited to announce that a revamped RIPE Atlas website launches today, so you can expect to see some changes when you visit atlas.ripe.net. We know that it can take some time to get used to change, but we think the new site is a big improvement over the old one and that you’ll find it quicker and easier to access the information you want. Some of the main features include proper landing pages for each section with quick links to the most relevant information, a restructured menu that includes a few new sections, including “Measurements, Maps and Tools”, “Probes and Anchors” and “Resources”, an improved dashboard overview of all of your probes and measurements under “My Atlas”, and faster data tables that you can now search. You can learn more about the revamped site and the reasons behind the change in this RIPE Labs article: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/the-revamped-ripe-atlas… Take some to look around and let us know what you think. We hope you’ll like what you see. Of course, we’ve done our best to ensure that all links are working properly, but if you happen to spot anything that looks wrong or broken, please let us know at atlas(a)ripe.net. Regards, Robert

API (v1) querying probes by ID
by Wenqin SHAO 03 Feb '16

03 Feb '16

Dear list, I have the impression that querying probes by ID returns unexpected results. An example is: https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v1/probe/?id=1 <https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v1/probe/?id=1> As a result, I get the entire probe list: "meta": { "total_count": 16973, "use_iso_time": false, "next": "/api/v1/probe/?id=1&limit=100&offset=100", "limit": 100, "offset": 0, "previous": null }, And ID 1 is an valid ID, which corresponds to the first entry of results: "id": 1, "type": "Probe", "is_public": false, "first_connected": "2010-10-29T15:53:03Z", "last_connected": "2016-02-03T10:02:28.407276Z", "is_anchor": false, "address_v4": null, "address_v6": null, "asn_v4": 3265, "asn_v6": 3265, "country_code": "NL", "prefix_v4": "212.238.0.0/16", "prefix_v6": "2001:980::/29", Regards, wenqin

Probe uptime?
by Max Mühlbronner 01 Feb '16

01 Feb '16

Hi, i suspect that there is a problem with my atlas probe, sometimes it is just gone / offline for ~10 minutes (more or less) although there is clearly no issue on the network. Other checks and monitoring works fine at the same time and shows about 100% uptime... I am not sure how to investigate, is there any chance to check the uptime of the probe and not just connection time? Maybe the device is hanging or rebooting?
