Software vs Hardware probes
by Marty Strong 03 Sep '20

Posting to the list hoping somebody has already found the answer :) Is there a way to filter by probe architecture, or perhaps software vs hardware probes? Marty

Disabling TLS 1.0 and 1.1 on RIPE Atlas anchors
by Robert Kisteleki 01 Sep '20

01 Sep '20

Dear RIPE Atlas users, We received reports that the availability of TLS 1.0 and 1.1 on RIPE Atlas anchors triggers some security alarms for some anchor hosts. Since the anchors don't host anything sensitive, and the measurment code is not expected to be affected by this, we will stop supporting these protocols on the anchors (*) as of *1 September*. We'll carry on with supporting TLS 1.2 (*) the RIPE Atlas website/UI will be unchanged for the time being although we expect similar changes in the near future Regards, Robert Kisteleki RIPE NCC

Re: [atlas] [RIPE-NCC/ripe-atlas-software-probe] Software probes only connect to one controller? (#45)

Those controllers are kept separate from controllers for hardware probes. We placed both controllers at Hetzner and unfortunately, Hetzner seems to have some issues recently (or at least more than I remember). Typically a controller handles about 500 probes, so it will take some time before we will get controllers in other places in the world. > > Quite a bit of atlas backend logic depends on probes having just one controller at a time, so this is unlikely to change soon. > > Sending probes to different controllers happens automatically, but it happens on a time scale of around 6 hours. It seems that the issue at Hetzner was less than 2 hours. However, with all controllers for software probes at Hetzner, a long failure at Hetzner would indeed impact all software probes. In this case, why not have the software probes set up with a fall-back RIPE Atlas Anchor (controller)? E.g. - Setup a list of 2 or more Anchors in a hierarchical order, - If the software probe cannot reach the primary Anchor for more than 10-20 minutes., fall-back to the next Anchor reachable, - Retest connectivity to all configured anchors every 6 hours, - Revert to use the first reachable anchor in the locally configured list (a hierarchical order). * The above idea assumes an Anchor being able to temp. handle more than the default ~500 probes per Anchor, plus co-location diversity of >= 2 providers and >= 3 anchors. -- Chriztoffer

Far remote probe 34512 offline but partially works
by ripe＠brite.cz 27 Jul '20

27 Jul '20

Hi team, I have probe 34512 in distant location [not able to have it checked physically for some more time], it shows offline since 2020-07-21, no SOS messages listed since 2020-05-16. But other devices connected to the same router do work online, and also the router keeps sending me Log Messages via internet so its internet connection has to be working fine. Router log shows DHCP request getting from the Probe every 12 hours, as usually: 2020/07/27 18:51:44 Info 93-153-42-167.customers.tmcz.cz daemon dnsmasq-dhcp DHCPACK(eth1) 192.168.222.220 c0:25:e9:a8:57:96 2020/07/27 18:51:44 Info 93-153-42-167.customers.tmcz.cz daemon dnsmasq-dhcp DHCPREQUEST(eth1) 192.168.222.220 c0:25:e9:a8:57:96 The router itself is behind NAT and I'm not able to remote to it and proceed with further investigation. From the Log above I see the Probe is running and keeps requesting DHCP requests as usually, so not sure how it could show offline. Do you have any further logs or a way how to try to resurrect the Probe remotely? Thank you Jiri
