Atlas UI: Redesigned Probe Detail Pages in Beta
by Stephen Suess 29 Jan '25

29 Jan '25

Hello Atlas friends, We’re excited to announce the early beta release of our redesigned probe detail pages in the Atlas UI. Over the past few months, we’ve been rethinking the structure and usability of these pages, and we’re sharing this early version to gather your feedback as we continue to develop and refine the design and features. Here’s how they are organised: - Overview: Probe information, map, traffic chart, links to measurements, and well-known target stats. - Network: IPv4/IPv6 overview and history. - Results: Grouped time-series charts for well-known targets and built-in measurements. - Manage: Tools for Sharing, Notifications, Transfer, SSH Key management, and Write-off. This release is very much a work in progress, and you can expect further changes and improvements as we iterate on the design and features. You can try it out by enabling the beta toggle in your preferences (https://atlas.ripe.net/prefs). We’d love for you to explore the new design and share your thoughts—your feedback will be instrumental in shaping the final version. For the full release notes you can go here: https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/releases/website/2025-01-28.html Thanks for being part of the community, and we look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Stephen Atlas UI

weird probe "outage"
by Sulev-Madis Silber 28 Jan '25

28 Jan '25

i just recently got message that my 65133 mox probe is offline according to status logs, it was offline for a ~week before this notice was sent out. notices are sent after 30min offline i didn't touch probe nor network nor do i know why that report was late or whether it even was really offline this is some recent issue maybe? or brand new issue? sos shows probe itself is up since i got it, 3+ months

Schroedinger's AAAA?
by Peter Eckel 28 Jan '25

28 Jan '25

I have a strane effect with probe 10293. Under "System Tags" I have both "Resolves AAAA Correctly" and "Resolves AAAA Incorrectly" listed. Apparently only one of the tags can be correct - or am I missing something? Best regards and seasonal wishes, Peter.

Oddity in "atlas-probe-traffic" measurement data/graph
by ripe＠nurfuerspam.de 28 Jan '25

28 Jan '25

Hi, Probes report the traffic volume they see on the device's/machine's interfaces in built-in measurement #9002 (on software probes, this needs to be enabled manually for privacy reasons). I use that to keep an eye on the behavior/health of the probe's host machine via the graphs generated by RIPEstat, which works well most of the time. Sometimes, however, there is an oddity in the data, namely extreme outliers. See attached graph, showing a peak of greater than 6.6 Gbps, when the "normal" traffic rarely exceeds 2Mbit/s. The underlying data shows an unusual high amount of bytes/packets sent/received for one instant that is pretty much impossible, here the data points around the anomaly (from [1]): [...] { "timestamp": 1736330734, "bytes_recv": 70881.58333333333, "bytes_sent": 63566.92222222222, "packets_recv": 737.8166666666667, "packets_sent": 700.6, "interfaces": [ "eth0" ] }, { "timestamp": 1736330921, "bytes_recv": 925866981.9732621, "bytes_sent": 820879052.6524065, "packets_recv": 8351935.347593583, "packets_sent": 8177239.866310161, "interfaces": [ "eth0" ] }, { "timestamp": 1736331101, "bytes_recv": 106008.85555555555, "bytes_sent": 88055.43333333333, "packets_recv": 1100.5944444444444, "packets_sent": 971.6666666666666, "interfaces": [ "eth0", "he-ipv6" ] }, [...] I think I've seen similar behavior on all of my software probes at one time or another, don't recall whether this also previously occured with my HW probe. So far, I have not been able to manually reproduce this, but it seems this is typically related to issues in communication with the controller, be it something on the controller side, like was more frequent/pronounced during the migration to the new controller infrastructure. Be it something on the probe side, e.g., temporary issue in network stack configuration. My current hypothesis is that when the probe cannot send off the measurement data, the accumulated data _for this particular measurement type_ is somehow getting corrupted, and the corrupted data is then sent once the communication issues are resolved, and data upload resumes. E.g., in this case, from the logs, it looks as if a reregistration with the controller was being done during minute 10:08, with the measurement data for #9002 taken just when the re-registration started. Not sure whether that is just coincidence, or whether there is a causal relation between the two. Anyone else seeing something similar, occasionally at least? Any idea what might be going on? (Have not gotten too far yet scouring through the probe/measurement code to see whether that yields any hints.) Thanks! R.

Small upcoming change in measurement metadata daily dumps
by Robert Kisteleki 28 Jan '25

28 Jan '25

Hello, We plan to make a small change in the measurement metadata daily dumps available at https://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/atlas/measurements/. Up until now these files contain the "current working set" which is defined as any measurement that runs right now or has been running in the past 14 days. (This also means that there's considerable overlap between today's and yesterday's dump.) We'll shorten this period to 7 days in early February. This has zero effect on the vast majority of our users. Those who periodically download and use these files with lower than 7 day frequency will need to update their scripts accordingly. Regards, Robert Kisteleki for RIPE Atlas team

Iso installation issue with RIPE Atlas anchor for LACNIC (uy-mvd-as28000)
by Elisa 07 Jan '25

07 Jan '25

Good morning, We received the ISO image to install the anchor but we encountered an issue. When we execute the "Install RIPE NCC Atlas Anchor" (see image) at some point the machine tries to resolve ks.atlas.ripe.net <http://ks.atlas.ripe.net/>, but it isn't connected to the network yet because to connect to the network we have to be inside the operating system, the installation process can't continue. We've been following instructions in: https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/howtos/installing-atlas-anchor.html and the machine has the following characteristics: 1 CPU type x86-64-v2 4 GB ram 50 GB disco Se carga la iso del disco local de Proxmox Can you help us move forward? Kind regards, -- Elisa Peirano *Analista de Datos I+D* R&D Data Analyst /www.lacnic.net <http://www.lacnic.net> Latin American and Caribbean Internet Addresses Registry/

Probe on ctr-dub-hw01 disconnected
by Ernst J. Oud 25 Dec '24

Hi, My probe 55795 disconnected from ctr-dub-hw01. Could it be that this controller has an issue? My other probes on other controllers are fine. Regards, Ernst J. Oud

Conflicting tags for resolver
by RIPE 22 Dec '24

22 Dec '24

Hi, I just noticed my probe (1008458) shows a strange status: System Resolves A or AAAA Records Incorrectly But looking at the tags I see both the resolves correctly and the resolves incorrectly tags are set for both A and AAAA. That looks like a strange combination of tags. Any idea what’s causing this ? Cheers, Paul
