RIPE Atlas Anchor Operating System Upgrade
by Paul de Weerd 02 Sep '24

02 Sep '24

Dear colleagues, RIPE Atlas anchors are scheduled for an Operating System (OS) upgrade soon since the current OS will reach its end-of-life on 30 June 2024 [1]. We are currently implementing and testing the necessary changes to support a smooth transition to the new OS without service interruption. Consequently, all live anchors will be upgraded by 31 August 2024. During this period, anchors will run on an outdated OS for a couple of months, but we do not anticipate any security issues here. For the few outward-facing services or lower-level software (such as the kernel) running on anchors, we will provide backports of necessary packages. If needed, we will shut down affected services or the anchor until the upgrade is complete. Due to this upgrade process, we have now paused applications for new anchors. New applications will resume from 15 July 2024 with anchors that will be provisioned with the new OS. If you have any questions please email gii-requests(a)ripe.net. Kind regards, Paul de Weerd RIPE NCC [1] https://www.redhat.com/en/topics/linux/centos-linux-eol

Hi there, Thank you for your feedback. For security reasons, it is unfortunately not possible to change your RIPE NCC Access e-mail address. More information on this topic is available at: https://www.ripe.net/publications/documentation/disclosures-and-reports/rip… However, you can do the following: - Create a new RIPE NCC Access account with the new email address https://access.ripe.net/registration - You will need to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) to activate the account. - Transfer Atlas credits to the new SSO account If you need help or have any questions about this procedure, please contact ncc(a)ripe.net. We are always striving to improve RIPE NCC Access and our current work plans are available at : https://www.ripe.net/publications/documentation/quarterly-planning/business… Kind regards, Fallon Albrecht Product Owner RIPE NCC

Re: Globalping

Stephane, That is precisely why I became interested, for a quick ping or trace they have a CLI where one can do a quick measurement or via the API. With Atlas Magellan in a docker container this is also possible, it streams the results to the console but Globalping might be a good add on tool in the toolkit. Thanks for the input.

account e-mail change?

i noticed i can't change my account mail address. unsure why we have such limitation here. i have mail i used for 25 years, or literally more than half of my entire lifetime, and now i want to change it. reason being it's ispmail i had since dialup. and they sold it. now i still have access to it but service sucks, despite expensive. a very good reason to change it. yet ripe seems to have account mail is permanent policy for no reason at all. i expect this to change after more updates. there was huge ui update but this feature is not coming. why? most of things allow me to change mail. with only handful of services insisting it being for life. i don't know if next one is lifetime long but at least now it's my own domain. hoping to change it. or at least given reason why i can't

Globalping
by Ernst J. Oud 27 Aug '24

L.S. It might be “cursing in the church” as we say in NL, but does anyone here have experience with the Globalping monitoring tools? Not as comprehensive as Atlas and a lot less probes but at first glance it has some useful features. Your thoughts? Regards, Ernst J. Oud

Update on RIPE Atlas Service Issues
by Robert Kisteleki 26 Aug '24

26 Aug '24

Dear colleagues, After the mails to this list over the weekend, we just wanted to confirm that we are aware of the issues some of you are having and we are working to resolve them. A service announcement has already been posted, as some of you have already pointed out. We would also like to note that probes will automatically try to re-connect to the RIPE Atlas infrastructure as long as they are operational. This is not something the host can control and so there is no action needed on your part. Currently, we are in the final stages of re-working the probe-controlling parts of the RIPE Atlas infrastructure, and while we’re careful to keep the machinery running, we expect to encounter some hiccups as we complete this work. During this period, there might be additional issues that arise which affect network performance or the connectivity of probes. We will try to keep this list updated, but note that you can always find the status of our services on status.ripe.net, and we encourage you to check if there are known issues. Regards, Robert Kisteleki RIPE NCC

Disconnected probes…
by Ernst J. Oud 26 Aug '24

26 Aug '24

All, Some of my disconnected probes have connected again, but probe 60200 has not. This is not a network issue since on that router a SW probe (1005072) now connects fine (it was disconnected earlier today) Would restarting probe 60200 help? It is in an inconvenient place but if restarting helps let me know. Regards, Ernst J. Oud

Probe v3 id #22785 - BADMD-APP
by Cassiano Aquino 26 Aug '24

26 Aug '24

Hi, I have a probe with id #22785 that completed 10 years online last July, but today in the morning it stopped working. I tried the common procedure, remove the USB, which was the same the probe came with, never had major issues with it, restart, wait 10 minutes, put the USB drive back again. Usually this solved any problems I had in the past, but not today, after trying 4 different USB drives, I'm seeing the same error message on the SOS log: BADMD-APP-5080-d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e Is there anything else I can do? Considering that after ten years, this probe is almost part of the family, is there any hope to recover? I have another TP-LINK TL-MR3020 that I bought and almost never used, is it possible somehow to install the firmware on it to have it replacing the current probe? Thanks in advance, and I do understand if there is nothing we can do, but probe #22785, you will be missed! Cheers, Cassiano Aquino - EI5HPB

by Ernst J. Oud 25 Aug '24

> We're just letting you know that your probe (#60200 ) has re-established its link to our network and we are again receiving data from it. Good! After over 3 days. Connected to controller ctr-nue17. Not to ctr-dub anymore. Ernst
