RIPE Atlas UI updates for 2026-07-29
by Stephen Suess 29 Jul '26

29 Jul '26

Hello Atlas users, We have just pushed another update to the UI. Among the highlights: - You can now set notification email format (in Preferences) to text or html. Please note that as we have moved to a new email sending system, for a short while still there may be an email here or there that needs reworking or is in the process of being converted. - We have replaced the charting library used for many Atlas charts with Apache e-charts. - We have fixed numerous other issues related to measurement cloning, historic data display in LatencyMon, and more. You can see the full list of what has changed in the release notes here: https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/releases/website_index/2026-07-29 Please let us know if you have any feedback or encounter any issues. Kind regards, Stephen Atlas UI

Global timeout event root DNS
by Jesse Prins 23 Jul '26

23 Jul '26

Hey all! For the final research project for my bachelor I am researching timeouts involving the Root DNS servers using RIPE atlas measurements. In my research I stumbled upon (in my opinion) a weird event that I can’t find any causes for. On the 23rd of December there was a spike (ranging from 10% - 60% depending on the server) in timeouts involving all root servers except F, G and H which don’t show any spike at all (see https://rootviz.sidnlabs.nl/public-dashboards/f81c02c68d7a4986ba1674fd7eb87…) My main question is if there were any problems with RIPE atlas itself around this time (causing an artifical spike)? and if not: Does anyone know what could have caused such a global spike in timeouts? Thanks in advance. Kind regards, Jesse Prins

Request for small Atlas credits for personal network measurement study
by 考生-高亚杰 22 Jul '26

22 Jul '26

Hello everyone,              I am a beginner learning internet measurement with ripe-atlas-tools. My RIPE account email is 2820665306(a)qq.com, my current credit balance is zero so I can't run ping and traceroute tests for study. If anyone has spare credits to donate me about 10000cr, I will really appreciate it. All my measurements are only for personal learning, no commercial use at all.              Thanks very much for your help!

UI: "Reuse from existing measurement" probe selection
by Lukas Tribus 17 Jul '26

17 Jul '26

Hello, when I'm using the "Reuse from existing measurement" probe selection method, only a single probe (the last probe looks like) from the existing measurement is used, not as expected all the probes from the existing measurement. The low expected daily cost is a good indicator for this as well, a part from actually starting a measurement and confirming that it only contains a single probe. I tried with a new and empty Google Chrome profile just to exclude any interaction with Firefox, browser caches, or the FF extensions I use, and the behavior is clearly reproducible. The UI also suggest that using a *subset* of the probes selected in a previous measurement is possible, however I have not found a way to actually select probes. The arrow pointing down is not doing anything for me (just endlessly loading nothing). This could absolutely be an embarrassing PBKAC issue, considering that I just spent an undisclosed amount of time the other day to diagnose why my anchor selection didn't work for the HTTP requests I was trying to run (of course it's not that you can only run HTTP requests from anchors, it's that you can only run HTTP requests *against* anchors as a target...). Thanks, Lukas

RIPE Atlas UI updates for 2026-07-15
by Stephen Suess 15 Jul '26

15 Jul '26

Hello Atlas friends, We have just pushed an update to the UI. Among the highlights: - Anchor management refresh: We have redesigned the "My Anchors" dashboard card and rebuilt the anchor change request forms. You can find more details in the Anchor Management documentation: https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/howtos/anchors/anchor-management - Rebuilt probe registration: The hardware and software probe registration forms have both been rebuilt from the ground up, replacing the legacy versions, and there is now a dedicated software probe install page to walk you through setup. - Probe details improvements: Your probe overview will now tell you when a probe is on hold due to a farming violation, and a software probe's current SSH key is now shown on its Manage tab. You can see the full list of what has changed in the release notes: https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/releases/website_index/2026-07-15 As always, we welcome your feedback and would love to know what you think. Kind regards, Stephen Atlas UI
