Plan to Implement RIPE Atlas WiFi Measurements
by Robert Kisteleki 09 Oct '17

09 Oct '17

Dear colleagues, We wanted to update the community and let you know that we plan to start work on the proposed experiment with WiFi measurements in mid-2016. As we communicated in a recent RIPE Labs article, we will work with GÉANT as a test partner to learn more about the operational effects of introducing WiFi measurements to the RIPE Atlas system, in addition to the benefits we believe this could provide for the entire RIPE Atlas community. Please see the article for more details if you are interested: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/ripe-atlas-wifi-measure… We will continue to update you once we’ve begun work on this plan, and we welcome your comments in the meantime. Regards, Robert Kisteleki RIPE NCC

Your probe is currently disconnected
by Conrad Kostecki 15 Aug '17

15 Aug '17

Hi! I've applied for an Atlas probe v3 and got one via postage. So, I've connected the probe to my network. I can see in my DNSMasq logs, that the probe gets successfully an IP address. It can be pinged without any problems. But that's all. Even after 24 hours it's still reported not connected. I can see multiple LEDs: 1 (power): on 2: off 3: slow blink 4: fast blink 5 (button): on I can't find that in the FAQ, the LEDs should light different. The FAQ also did mention to try first without USB and insert USB later. Or try to replace the USB. Both cases did not help. If I connect my ThinkPad instead the probe with the same network connection (cable and port), it can access the internet just fine without any problems.. I've no clou, what could be wrong. Any ideas? Thanks! Conrad Viele Grüße Conrad Kostecki

Are there plans for faster than 1G anchors?
by Bryan Socha 20 Apr '17

20 Apr '17

We're finding it harder and harder to support the 1G nic interface on the anchors. We'd love to add more but would need a 10g port at minimum (25G or 40G would also work). Are there any plans to update them for networks that can't easily support a 1G nic? Bryan Socha Network Engineer DigitalOcean

status-check misbehaving
by Georg Kahest 19 Apr '17

19 Apr '17

Hello, Am I misunderstanding something or the status-checks are kind of broken: Yesterday i made new measurement: https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/8038852/ I noticed some probes werent reaching my ipv6 host, so decided to remove them like you can see from the Probe specifications section. Now when i goto https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v2/measurements/8038852/status-check/ I can still see the removed probes in status-check page (which contains 17 errors ) in reality if i'm lookin at measurement probe page i should have only two errors. So it seems that status-check isnt updated once probes are removed from a measurement. -- Georg Kahest System Administrator / Süsteemiadministraator Eesti Interneti SA Paldiski mnt 80, 10617 Tallinn Tel 727 1016 www.internet.ee

Behind the scenes changes to measurement creation
by Chris Amin 18 Apr '17

18 Apr '17

Dear colleagues, Today we deployed behind-the-scenes changes to the measurement creation process, both when using the website and the REST API. These changes should not have any visible effects, with the exception of improvements to the measurement API reference[1] to make it easier to see which options belong to which measurement type. Although we've tested these changes extensively, they are significant so I am sending this mail to ask you to please let us know if you notice any problems or changes when creating measurements. Kind regards, Chris Amin RIPE NCC [1] https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/api/v2/reference/#!/api/Measurement_List_GET

New on RIPE Labs: TraceMON - Network Debugging Made Easy
by Mirjam Kuehne 11 Apr '17

11 Apr '17

Dear colleagues, TraceMON is a client-side tool for visualising network topology generated by traceroutes reaching one or more targets in a network. It provides a one-click access to a set of information useful during day to day operations. Please find more details on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/massimo_candela/tracemon-traceroute-visualisa… Kind regards, Mirjam Kuhne RIPE NCC

Problems trying to add a probe to a measurement
by Colin Strutt 07 Apr '17

07 Apr '17

I'm trying to add a probe, by probe number, to an existing, running measurement, using curl, following the example and description on page 84 of the "RIPE Atlas API v2 manual". However, I'm getting an error message that does not clearly point me to the problem, and thus allow me to correct my error. Here's what I'm entering (with the <.> as placeholders, explained below) curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" -X POST -d '{"probes":[{"action":"add","requested":1,"type":"probes","value":"<p>"}]}' https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v2/measurements/<m>/participation-requests/?key=< a> where: <p> is the number of the probe I'm trying to add, and I can access it at https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/<p> <m> is the measurement to which I'm trying to add it - it's a running measurement, and I can access it at https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/<m> <a> is the API key, which is enabled and has "Update an existing measurement" granted The error I get back is: {"error":{"status":400,"code":104,"detail":"JSON parse error - No JSON object could be decoded","title":"Bad Request"}} In case it's relevant, I'm running curl 7.53.1 on Windows 10. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. colin
