Fwd: Your RIPE Atlas Probe (ID: 22769) is not connected to our network
by Jonathan Brewer 07 Jul '15

07 Jul '15

Hi There, My probe 22769 appears to be malfunctioning, and I'm not sure what to do in terms of diagnostics. >From the router nearest it on the network: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ghe4e3tz69u1kvc/Screenshot%202015-07-07%2011.30.1… Looks to me as if it's rebooting frequently, but I have no way to check without an in-person visit. Do you have any suggestions as to how to troubleshoot? I have access to the network it's on. Thanks, Jon ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: RIPE Atlas <no-reply(a)ripe.net> Date: 6 July 2015 at 07:40 Subject: Your RIPE Atlas Probe (ID: 22769) is not connected to our network To: jon.brewer(a)gmail.com Dear RIPE Atlas probe host, Thank you for participating in RIPE Atlas!

API to get information about a probe?
by Stephane Bortzmeyer 06 Jul '15

06 Jul '15

I cannot find an API to retrieve information about a probe. I would like to get the information I can see on, for instance, <https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/10644/> but from a REST + JSON API. Does it exist? Do you think it would be a nice addition? (My current use case is that I find some probes failing to ping a target and I would like to quickly check if they share something, such as ASn or some tags.)

Wrong IP prefix values accepted?
by Stephane Bortzmeyer 05 Jul '15

It seems there is no protection against wrong prefixes? See measurement #1897909, which started with JSON: {'definitions': [{'query_class': 'IN', 'description': 'DNS resolution of jihadmin.com from prefix foobar', 'af': 4, 'query_argument': 'jihadmin.com', 'query_type': 'A', 'type': 'dns', 'is_oneoff': True, 'recursion_desired': True, 'use_probe_resolver': True}], 'probes': [{'requested': 3, 'type': 'prefix', 'value': 'foobar'}]}

Probe and measurement archives vs. the APIs
by Robert Kisteleki 02 Jul '15

02 Jul '15

Dear All, We've observed recently that some users are using scripts to "crawl" through all the metadata provided by the probe and measurement APIs. This means that some people out there download basically the entire probe and/or measurement meta data set the system provides. As you can imagine, this is highly inefficient and keeps our servers busy. We believe that there could be better solutions. We have been providing the downloadable archive for probe metadata for some time now, and recently we've added the measurement metadata too. You can now reach these at http://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/atlas/ This way one can even get complete sets of metadata as far back as January 2015 for measurement specifications and March 2014 for probe data. Given the existence of these archives, we will apply a sane limit on how much metadata can be reached via the APIs. In practice this means that the API will not allow fetching results beyond, say, 10.000 (i.e. 500 pages of 20) entries. This is after the application of filters, so for example with no filters at all you could still access metadata of the 10k newest measurements, while if you filter for DNS measurements only, you could get the 10k newest of those, and so on. We believe this keeps the metadata API useful for the majority of the users, while the existence of the archive serves the remaining cases. Our plan is to make this change around the end of July. Regards, Robert Kisteleki

RIPE Atlas traceroute visualisation - use cases
by Massimo Candela 01 Jul '15

01 Jul '15

Hello, We are creating a tool to visualise traceroute results coming from the RIPE Atlas measurement network. The tool will of course be available to everyone. To help make this tool as useful as possible, I’m gathering use cases of day-to-day operations and research activities that use traceroute measurements. I hope you can spend a few minutes to answer this email and tell me how you use traceroute measurements or what you would like to have in such a tool. For each use case you have in mind, please describe it briefly. Keep in mind our system can collect measurements from multiple sources to a single target repeatedly (e.g. every 60 seconds). Don’t focus only on traceroute data, but also on correlations among traceroutes and BGP, RTT, geolocations, DNS, and registry information (feel free to expand the list to other datasets). Thanks for your time. Your help is invaluable. Ciao, Massimo RIPE NCC

Probe update
by Laurent Dumont 23 Jun '15

23 Jun '15

Hi gents, Small update on the probe status. I've tried a 2A usb power adapter and no dice. The Power and WPS led come on and a ethernet link seems to be active between the probe and the switch. Unfortunately, there is no DHCP discover or any kind of network activity from the probe. Anything else I can try to troubleshoot this? Is there a LED guide somewhere? -- Laurent Dumont coldnorthadmin.com

Probe question - Issue
by Laurent Dumont 23 Jun '15

23 Jun '15

Hi gents, After some delay, I'm trying to setup the probe I received. Unfortunately, it seems that something is not quite working. Once it's plugged in and powered, there is no activity. There is no DHCP request for the probe so I can't see anything on the network side. Could something be wrong with the usb key? Is there a way I could reflash the usb key with the OS files? Thanks Laurent Dumont -- Laurent Dumont coldnorthadmin.com

Enabling Data Compression in RIPE Atlas
by Vesna Manojlovic 19 Jun '15

19 Jun '15

Dear colleagues, We’d like to enable gzip compression on all of RIPE Atlas' measurement API calls — but thanks to the BREACH vulnerability, doing so could mean that some enterprising individual with an obscene amount of time on their hands might be able read the contents of the responses. This means measurement results as well as metadata for measurements — including the small number of measurements not marked as “public”. We believe the drawbacks are negligible, but we’re looking for community support. Find out more in this RIPE Labs article: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/daniel_quinn_39/enabling-data-compression-in-… Regards, Vesna Manojlovic

atlas anchor DANE records
by Bjørn Mork 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

Hello, I just noticed "We also generate a DANE record for each anchor" in the docs and became instantly curious. There aren't that many DANE records out there in the wild :) The records seem to be pointing to a self signed certificate (as documented), but with 'usage' = 1 instead of 3 as expected. At least the two records I looked at had this - I assume they are all created the same way. Is this intentional? It makes 'normal' verification fail: bjorn@canardo:~$ tlsa --debug --verify nl-ams-as3333.anchors.atlas.ripe.net Received the following record for name _443._tcp.nl-ams-as3333.anchors.atlas.ripe.net.: Usage: 1 (End-Entity Constraint + chain to CA) Selector: 0 (Certificate) Matching Type: 1 (SHA-256) Certificate for Association: 88422d55424ca8f6f74e165016851cb195fc0919f82f8762574a4d71868964e9 This record is valid (well-formed).

Notifications for unreachable probes
by Peter Eckel 10 Jun '15

10 Jun '15

Hi, I have set up a notification if my probe 10293 is down for more than 15 minutes. Since my main mail address is located on a server likely to be unavailable if the probe is down, the notification was set to a different mail address not in the same network. Unfortunately it seems that the notification address is ignored, and the notification is sent to the reporting address instead. Does anyone else see that problem as well? Regards, Peter.
