My Atlas > Credits reporting wrong total daily income?
by Jaewon Kim 18 Feb '22

18 Feb '22

Hello, List! First of all, this is my first time posting to any kind of mailing list, so apologies if I did something wrong. Please let me know if so. I'm having this weird issue where 'My Atlas' page showing wrong info for "total daily income" (around 2x of what I'm actually getting). As you can see above, Atlas is reporting that this specific probe is earning 64K a day, and the total income is around 615K. However, if I see the actual credits page, None of my probes are actually earning that much. Plus, the hourly income is 13.7K, which sums up to around 330K/day. This isn't a big issue to be honest, but just got curious (and confused) with it. If anyone knows a fix for it, or why this is happening, it would be great :) Thank you! Best regards, Jaewon.

monthly information about probe availability
by MAYER Hans 14 Feb '22

14 Feb '22

Dear All, We get this monthly e-mail about probe availability. This is great. But there are some questions. What exactly is getting measured? Is this a connection to some external site? Which could mean that there are other factors that could influence the measure (i.e. that external site is down, etc.) Kind regards Hans —

Ripe Atlas Credits Request
by Sergio Ricardo Hernandez Torres 07 Feb '22

07 Feb '22

Hello Ripe Atlas Community: My name is Sergio R. Hernández Torres, and I’m currently a Master’s student at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, SE. A little more than a year ago, in November 2020, I was deeply inspired by RIPE's mission and RPKI route validation, thanks to a guest lecture from RIPE at KTH. At this moment, I am currently beginning to work on my Master’s Thesis and chose to do it related to RPKI Validation. To run some experiments, I’m reaching out to you to know if it is possible to obtain RIPE Atlas credits for Academic Purposes. Also, I would like to keep in touch if more RPKI or routing information is needed! My Ripe Atlas account where donations are accepted is: srht(a)kth.se<mailto:srht@kth.se> Best Regards, Sergio R. Hernández Torres Student | Master's Programme, Communication Systems KTH Royal Institute of Technology www.kth.se<http://www.kth.se/>

Update Wikipedia Article?
by Paul Theodoropoulos 03 Feb '22

03 Feb '22

I was curious what Wikipedia has to say about the project so had a look. The article is...adequate, but could use some updating and expansion. Unfortunately, I am merely a helpful little Probe, without as much insight into the true dynamics of the Atlas unlike many others here. For one thing, there's no mention of the ability to run software probes as I do. I made a few "WikiGnome" fixes on the article, but other than that, I'm not really the person to update it... Just tossing that out there! -- Paul Theodoropoulos www.anastrophe.com

Location of probe controllers
by Malte Appel 01 Feb '22

01 Feb '22

Hi, I was looking at the built-in traceroute measurements and noticed additional targets (ctr-*.atlas.ripe.net) apart from the DNS root servers. As I understand it, these are the controllers for the probes. However, I was wondering where they are physically located and could not find any clear information about that. My guesses from the DNS names are based on IATA airport codes: ctr-ams02.atlas.ripe.net (Amsterdam, NL) ctr-ams03.atlas.ripe.net (Amsterdam, NL) ctr-ewr01.atlas.ripe.net (Newark, NJ, US) ctr-fnc01.atlas.ripe.net (Funchal, PT) ctr-nue13.atlas.ripe.net (Nürnberg, DE) ctr-nue17.atlas.ripe.net (Nürnberg, DE) ctr-sin02.atlas.ripe.net (Singapore, SG) Can anyone confirm or correct these locations? Best, Malte

Is there a procedure to move a software probe to a new device
by Peter Garner (iPad) 01 Feb '22

01 Feb '22

Noob question. I set up my software probe on a Debian 10 box which has quite a few small servers on it. However, I intend to move it onto a Raspberry Pi, so I was wondering if there's a specific procedure to follow to preserve existing settings? Only the internal IP address will change; the external remains the same.

Can't access the serial in SOA records from the API
by Nathan Larsen 26 Jan '22

26 Jan '22

Hi, Does anyone know a way to access the serials from SOA records with the Ripe Atlas API? I have been running a variety of DNS measurements with the query type being SOA, but have not been able to determine how to get serial numbers over the course of the measurement. Any guidance would be appreciated, Nate Larsen
