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

Long measurement delays
by Steve Gibbard 30 Nov '19

30 Nov '19

Hello, Atlas crew, I’ve been seeing delayed query responses to one-off measurements since November 22, with the exception of November 25. For www.globaltraceroute.com, which attempts to get responses for 90 seconds after submitting a query (and is usually fairly successful), this has meant a failure rate of 61% on average for those days, and as high as 83% on one of the days. I haven’t been tracking how long it does take for a response to come in in those cases, but my most recent test measurement, measurement ID 23502037, is still not returning any data an hour and 40 minutes after submission. My request format as a Python string is "https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v2/measurements/%s/latest/?key=%s" % (measurement_id, key). For these failures I’m receiving an empty list, so it looks like this might be something different than the “synchronizing” issue people were complaining about over the last few weeks. Trying to access that measurement via the Atlas Web UI, if I go to the “latest results” tab I get a spinning progress wheel, seemingly forever. I haven’t been tracking the Atlas “consumption delay” along with the results, so I’m not sure what it’s looked like during most of the failure periods. I checked at the time I submitted measurement 23502037 and it showed as green, although it’s showing as yellow now. Thanks for any help or attention you can provide on this. -Steve

Measurements "synchronizing"
by Stephane Bortzmeyer 30 Nov '19

30 Nov '19

It seems that, today, when querying the API about an existing measurement, I always get: {'id': None, 'name': 'synchronizing'} Which I've never seen. (Measurement #23238335 but it's not the only one.) A recent change? A temporay problem?

swagger spec 2.0
by av＠ipmn.io 30 Nov '19

30 Nov '19

Hi, I can't write to the previous post about swagger, so created the new one. I made some tooling auto conversion from 1.2 to 2.0 and a little bit of hand fixing to current spec. It would be nice if anybody could help with getting 2.0 version up to date. Here is what I have for now: https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis/akme/ripe-atlas_api_reference/v2.4.0

Unable to set probe location to Hong Kong
by Ponikierski, Grzegorz 28 Nov '19

28 Nov '19

Hi all! I was wondering why I see more probes in Hong Kong marked as Chinese probes. For test, I tried to set location of my probe to Hong Kong and even if I put location pin on map in the middle of Hong Kong it still ends assigned to China. Are we still able to assign RIPE Atlas probes to Hong Kong? If not, then what about probes which are still assigned to Hong Kong? How to reliably get via API list of probes located in Hong Kong? Should we parse geo coordinates and use 3rd party libraries to figure out where probe is really located? Regards, Grzegorz

Finding the NSID in the measurement results
by Roger Murray 28 Nov '19

28 Nov '19

Dear colleagues, We have a measurement with the NSID flag set to True: https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/23444279/#!general and we are seeing the NSID responses in the web-gui for the measurement: https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/23444279/#!probes So far so good, but when we download the raw measurement result data we are not able to locate the NSID information. We would really appreciate any help in finding the NSID in the result information. Thanks in advance, /rog The Swedish Internet Foundation https://internetstiftelsen.se/en/
