Meta-information dumps for built-in measurements?
by Vasileios Giotsas 09 Nov '20

09 Nov '20

Is there any repository like https://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/atlas/measurements/ that contains meta-information about built-in RIPE Atlas measurements (the above repository contains meta-information only for public measurements)? I couldn't find anything similar in the new FTP repository at https://data-store.ripe.net/datasets/atlas-daily-dumps/ I guess using the API is an alternative but it would be more convenient to have such dumps Thanks, Vasileios

New on RIPE Labs: RIPE Atlas Probes: Delays in Distribution
by Mirjam Kuehne 08 Feb '19

08 Feb '19

Dear colleagues, The good news: RIPE Atlas is growing both in terms of geographical diversity and ASN coverage. What's more, RIPE Atlas is evolving, with a new generation of probe hardware having already passed the test phase and a pilot programme underway to assess the viability of VM anchors. The not so good news: With RIPE Atlas so much in demand, and with our current provider having ceased manufacturing the probe hardware, we've had to dramatically reduce the number of probes we're distributing. Please find more details on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/alun_davies/ripe-atlas-probes-delays-in-distr… Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE NCC

Delays over the weekend
by Robert Kisteleki 29 Oct '18

29 Oct '18

Dear all, Some of you have noticed that there were delays in how RIPE Atlas behaved, starting on Saturday. This happened because of an issue deep in the bowels of the infrastructure which caused tasks (including measurement requests) to pile up. We believe the issue has been resolved by now, though we're still investigating the root cause of the issue. We apologise for the inconvenience this caused. Regards, Robert Kisteleki RIPE Atlas team

New set - wizard improvements suggestion
by Evgeniy S. 24 Oct '18

24 Oct '18

Dear All, finally we are using our ripe probes to monitor our resources from mobile networks. I found that current "new set - wizard" functionality is lacking some useful extra filters using: 1) "User tags" - then I can tag my mobile probes and select only mobile network probes from the list. 2) mine, favorites, sponsored, ambassadorships It will be also nice to request to tag mobile network probes for users who run them. Any feedback is appreciated. I'm also interesting for getting in touch with people who have probes installed in mobile networks to make tests / comparing to our setup. -- With regards, Eugene

Relocating a probe
by Gary Gapinski 20 Oct '18

20 Oct '18

Hello: I currently host a probe (#14102) at my residence. I will soon move to a new residence about 450 miles from the current location. Such a move will necessarily alter measurements obtained relative to past ones (as well as ASN, geolocation, etc.). Should the existing probe identity be retired in favor of a new identity? (And if so how might that be accomplished?) Regards, Gary

Definition of Commercial Use
by Mic Szillat 04 Oct '18

04 Oct '18

Hi folks, I have a discussion in my company about the definition of commercial use. Can we please get an official confirmation whether our typical usage of Atlas is covered by the terms of service? We occasionally use Atlas to debug network connectivity between our systems and those of our customers. We answer support requests and confirm or deny network issues based on the data collected. We do not give customers access to the measurement interface. Thanks, Mic
