check dns64/nat64 behavior ?
by Thomas Schäfer 21 Feb '20

21 Feb '20

Hi, is there a simple way to check the reachability of IPv6 targets by probes behind NAT64? e.g. If I try to ping www.t-online.de with Adress Family IPv6 I get immediately the error " No IPv6 address found for target" instead of "measuremnet created". Same problem exists for DNS measurements. Regards, thomas

Probes were incorrectly not tagged with the stability tags
by Chris Amin 21 Feb '20

21 Feb '20

Dear colleagues, Over the past month there have been issues with the "system-ipv[45]-stable-{1,30,90}d" tags, which were not applied to many of the probes that should have had them. This was caused by accidental data format changes from a backend migration. The issue should now be fixed, so probes will have the correct tags applied. If you notice any persisting issues then please let us know! Apologies for any inconvenience. Kind regards, Chris

atlas probe down
by MAYER Hans 19 Feb '20

19 Feb '20

Dear All, Our Atlas probe with ID 35603 is down since Wednesday exactly 12:00 LT. I unplugged power and powered on, but no success. After power on some LED's are blinking. Finally the power LED stays on and the LED next to it is blinking. But I can't ping this probe. Either on IPv4 nor on IPv6. We got this probe in summer 2018. So I can't believe it's EOL. Any ideas what I can do ? Kind regards Hans --

Can I issue a traceroute measurement with multiple targets?
by Vasileios Giotsas 11 Feb '20

11 Feb '20

If I have 100 IPs to target from a single probe, is it possible to create a single measurement with 100 targets similar to how I'd do if I wanted to target a single IP from 100 probes? I've read through the Atlas API documentation and couldn't find anything like that but it looks like some of the built-in measurements do that. Thanks, Vasilis

Atlas API stream broken?
by Teun Vink 10 Feb '20

10 Feb '20

Hi, Since ~13.30h CET this afternoon our Atlas data stream subscriptions (using the ripe.atlas.cousteau python library) stopped receiving updates. Earlier today we (at 11.27h) observed some issues with the backend where we received redis errors, which were resolved at ~12.09h CET. I heard these were related to some firewall issues, could these problem be related? Regards, -- Teun Vink BIT | teun(a)bit.nl | +31 318 648 688 KvK: 09090351 | GPG: 0xFC8B25D6 | RIPE: TEUN-RIPE

Planned Atlas downtime on 29 January
by Robert Kisteleki 06 Feb '20

06 Feb '20

Dear RIPE Atlas users, Please be aware that we plan to do maintenance work in the RIPE Atlas core infrastructure two weeks from now, on Wednesday 29 January, between 9:00-12:00 CET (Amsterdam time). The RIPE Atlas website, UI and API will be unavailable in this period. The probes should remain connected and results will be collected normally, although during this period they can only be accessed real-time via the streaming service. Apologies for the inconvenience this may cause. Regards, Robert Kisteleki

Using Atlas for Monitoring of Anycast DNS
by Klaus Darilion 20 Jan '20

20 Jan '20

Hello! I want to restart this old thread and ask for available tools. For our Anycast DNS cloud, I want to measure the "performance", ie the RTT from Atlas probes. 1. Create measurements (I can do that already ;-) 2. Analyze this measurements: - fetch measurement - analyze the probe locations (ie. country, continent) - create reports with average RTT from certain countries and continents This second step I have partly in old scripts using influxdb and grafana dashboard - but that was a proof of concept with bad code. So, before starting coding from the base - are there some available scripts which can do the second part? Is https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/ripe.atlas.sagan still the way to go for measurement processing or are there meanwhile some better/smarter libraries? ie something for php?

Probe is offline but shown online
by Andre Heinrichs 19 Jan '20

19 Jan '20

I’ve just discovered my probe #29384 blinking frantically while the website claims it had been online for more than a day (which can’t be true as my DSL had to get a new connection with a different IP). I tried rebooting the probe but all that got me is lower values of Power-Up time in the SOS requests the probe sends every couple of minutes. From what I can guess it looks like something in RIPE ATLAS isn’t working right. Would be great if someone could have a look. TIA, Andre, Who’s trying to get some sleep now.

Probe stability tags
by Chris Amin 08 Jan '20

08 Jan '20

Dear RIPE Atlas users, Due to an error in our backend systems, the probe stability tags ("system: IPv4 Stable 30d" etc) had been gradually becoming stale over the past three months, meaning that probes were not gaining or losing these tags when they should. This has now been fixed, so probes are once again tagged appropriately. We have improved our internal monitoring so this kind of issue will be noticed more quickly next time. Apologies for any inconvenience caused. Kind regards, Chris Amin RIPE NCC

A new year's break for the probes
by Robert Kisteleki 03 Jan '20

03 Jan '20

Happy new year to all RIPE Atlas users! It seems we've given a little break to our probes so they can celebrate the new year too ... >From midnight 1 January until approximately noon 2 January there were no built-in measurements running. This is due to an overlooked fact where the built-in measurements had a pre-defined end date of 2020-01-01. The system dutifully observed this date and did not schedule these measurements any more. We fixed this setting on Thursday, 2 January and the system returned to normal operations shortly thereafter. As a consequence, there's a gap in the delivered measurement results for built-in measurements (i.e. IDs < 1 million). Results for the User-Defined Measurements were not affected. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience this can cause. Regards, Robert Kisteleki

One-off measurements not terminating
by Steve Gibbard 30 Dec '19

30 Dec '19

Hi Atlas folks, I hope you’re having a good holiday season. Sorry to interrupt it by complaining about issues. On Christmas Eve my time (early Christmas morning your time) there was an Atlas issue where any attempt at reading measurements failed with an HTTP 500 status error. That appears to have gotten fixed on Christmas (a really big thank you to whoever worked on that) but since then it appears that while most of the one-off measurements we’ve created have delivered results very quickly, none of the measurements created since 17:00 UTC on 2019-12-25 have stopped running. As shown in the Atlas portal: 23722197 Traceroute www.globaltraceroute.com (AS13335) Test Traceroute 1 one-off 2019-12-25 22:24 Never 23722089 Traceroute archive.ubuntu.com (AS41231) Test Traceroute 1 one-off 2019-12-25 19:16 Never 23722088 Traceroute sps.prima.com.ar (AS10318) Test Traceroute 1 one-off 2019-12-25 19:14 Never 23721915 Traceroute www.globaltraceroute.com (AS13335) Test Traceroute 1 one-off 2019-12-25 17:00 Never And on for every measurement between then and now. Previously, the typical one-off measurement was listed with start and stop times less than 10 minutes apart. When a user has 100 measurements running concurrently, creation of new measurements fails, which is happening for me now. If somebody could take a look at this, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks, Steve

Deletion of erroneously scheduled measurements
by Nils Rodday 29 Dec '19

29 Dec '19

Dear Atlas folks, I have accidentially scheduled many faulty measurements via the API and am now looking for a way to remove them in order to minimize unnecessary burden on the Atlas system and not to pollute my account & limits with unnecessary measurements. However, the DELETE statement (AtlasStopRequest) only seems to be able to stop ongoing measurements [1]. I always get the following reply trying to remove any future measurement: {'error': {'detail': 'That measurement cannot be stopped', 'status': 400, 'title': 'Bad Request', 'code': 104}} Also, the AtlasChangeSource & AtlasChangeRequest of Cousteau [2] can only change ongoing experiments (as I wanted to set the probes in each measurement to 1 if I wasn´t allowed to delete any of them). But since they are upcoming, but not ongoing, I could also not alter them. I am also referring to a mailing-list post from October 2013 stating essentially the same problem [3]. Given the significant amount of time that has passed since then I wanted to raise this issue again. Is there any way to delete a measurement that is in the "SPECIFIED" state, which means that it will only be executed in the future? I understand that we might want to avoid deletion of measurements that have already been run in the past in order to allow others to benefit from the results, but why shouldn´t one be allowed to eliminate faulty measurements that have been scheduled by accident in the future? Thanks & a Happy New Year! Kind regards, Nils [1] https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/api/v2/manual/measurements/stop-measurements.ht… [2] https://ripe-atlas-cousteau.readthedocs.io/en/latest/use.html [3] https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/ripe-atlas/2013-October/001058.html

Letsencrypt certificates on anchors
by Anand Buddhdev 13 Dec '19

13 Dec '19

Dear colleagues, Some time ago, there was discussion on this list about deploying Letsencrypt certificates on anchors. We had said we would investigate the possibility of doing this. We are pleased to report that we have worked out how to do this seamlessly. Early next week, all RIPE Atlas anchors will switch to Letsencrypt certificates. Note that we will re-use the existing keys on the anchors to request the Letsencrypt certificates. The TLSA records of all anchors are pinned to these private keys, and so they will not change. Regards, Anand Buddhdev RIPE NCC

Long measurement delays
by Steve Gibbard 30 Nov '19

30 Nov '19

Hello, Atlas crew, I’ve been seeing delayed query responses to one-off measurements since November 22, with the exception of November 25. For www.globaltraceroute.com, which attempts to get responses for 90 seconds after submitting a query (and is usually fairly successful), this has meant a failure rate of 61% on average for those days, and as high as 83% on one of the days. I haven’t been tracking how long it does take for a response to come in in those cases, but my most recent test measurement, measurement ID 23502037, is still not returning any data an hour and 40 minutes after submission. My request format as a Python string is "https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v2/measurements/%s/latest/?key=%s" % (measurement_id, key). For these failures I’m receiving an empty list, so it looks like this might be something different than the “synchronizing” issue people were complaining about over the last few weeks. Trying to access that measurement via the Atlas Web UI, if I go to the “latest results” tab I get a spinning progress wheel, seemingly forever. I haven’t been tracking the Atlas “consumption delay” along with the results, so I’m not sure what it’s looked like during most of the failure periods. I checked at the time I submitted measurement 23502037 and it showed as green, although it’s showing as yellow now. Thanks for any help or attention you can provide on this. -Steve

Unable to set probe location to Hong Kong
by Ponikierski, Grzegorz 28 Nov '19

Hi all! I was wondering why I see more probes in Hong Kong marked as Chinese probes. For test, I tried to set location of my probe to Hong Kong and even if I put location pin on map in the middle of Hong Kong it still ends assigned to China. Are we still able to assign RIPE Atlas probes to Hong Kong? If not, then what about probes which are still assigned to Hong Kong? How to reliably get via API list of probes located in Hong Kong? Should we parse geo coordinates and use 3rd party libraries to figure out where probe is really located? Regards, Grzegorz

Error: No suitable probes and delayed results
by Moritz Muller 03 Oct '19

03 Oct '19

Hi, In our experiment we’re trying to assign certain probes to a ping measurement but until now we always get the error message "NO SUITABLE PROBES”. According to the documentation, this is a sign that a probe might not have enough resources. However, when I check on the measurement a few hours later I do see results, but its state is still "NO SUITABLE PROBES”. See https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/23016956/#!probes Is that a common problem when selecting certain probes for measurements? Moritz

My only option is now to ask the community to help our research. I would highly appreciate if anyone can generously offer us RIPE ATLAS credits to kickstart our measurements (e.g. 1 million). My RIPE NCC account is <nitinder.mohan at helsinki.fi>. Any help would be highly appreciated.

DNS issue with Atlas or with the ISP?
by Stephane Bortzmeyer 09 Sep '19

09 Sep '19

RIPE Atlas Web site displays a lot of "undefined" for the tests in AS 3125. See for instance <https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/22766270/#!probes> or <https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/22766942/#!probes> But the DNS resolution from this AS seems to work. Checking the raw results in JSON, I see that we have a lot of failures on one IPv6 resolver: "dst_name": "fe80::a63e:51ff:fe77:e26", "error": { "socket": "connect failed Invalid argument" }, We do not see such IPv6 problem in other AS (see for instance <https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/22766995#!probes>) I assume that the "connect failed Invalid argument" is the fault of the ISP, which advertises a wrong DNS resolver? Or is the Atlas probe unable to query link-local addresses for DNS resolution? Even if it is so, is it a good idea for the Atlas Web site to display "undefined" where the raw results show that other resolvers worked?

Measurement with msm probe type isn't working
by Hugo Salgado 02 Sep '19

02 Sep '19

Dear Atlas team. I have a script to launch a new measurement using an old measurement list of probes ids, using type:msm. This script worked ok several times (last time like 1 month ago), but now it gives me the error: {"error":{"detail":"There was a problem with your request","status":400,"title":"Bad Request","code":102,"errors":[{"source":{"pointer":"/probes/0/value"},"detail":"The measurement you selected for your probe request does not exist"}]}} However I still can see the old measurement on the web page! I solved it downloading the list of probes using a GET to https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v2/measurements//<OLD_MEASUREMENT_ID>?fields=probes' and then giving the complete probes list to my script. Is there any recent change with the type:msm call? Thanks, Hugo

Hi team, RIPE Atlas Population Coverage tool ( http://sg-pub.ripe.net/petros/population_coverage/country.html?name=CZ ) is missing Network Names (column "Network Name") in more than half rows. It seems it is the same for multiple/all countries. Please have a look. Thank you Jiri

Feature Request to consider: DNS response IP header
by Jen Linkova 22 Jul '19

22 Jul '19

Hello, I have a number of use cases when it would be very useful to have access to the IP header of the measurement response packets. In my scenario I'd like to see TTL/Hop Limit of packets received in DNS measurements. So I'm curious if anyone else think it would be a useful feature and if there is some demand for such a feature - maybe the Atlas team could consider implementing it? Thanks! -- SY, Jen Linkova aka Furry

Question about built-in first/second hop latency measurements
by Joel Sommers 22 Jul '19

22 Jul '19

Hello all, For the built-in latency measurements to first/second hops, my assumption has pretty much always been that these are done with hop-limited probes (i.e., with TTL or hop limit set to 1 or 2). Is that true, or are these measurements taken using “direct” pings? Thanks! Joel

Scheduled work on RIPE Atlas
by Robert Kisteleki 18 Jul '19

18 Jul '19

Dear RIPE Atlas users, We have planned maintenance on the main RIPE Atlas backend database tomorrow (Tuesday, 16 July) starting at 08:00 UTC, 10:00 Amsterdam local time. We expect complete unavailability of the service for a short while and further intermittent delays during the day. During this time the website (UI and APIs) will not be responding (properly). This also means that requests for new measurements will be denied or delayed. Data from existing measurements will still be collected normally, though access to them will be impacted. Our apologies for the inconvenience. Regards, Robert Kisteleki

Hello Johan, My probe ID is 32256, It is registered and reachable from last 3 weeks, can you please check if I still need to do something to earn my credits. rg, kiran. ----- Original Message: com236.291.250 --------------------------------- From: Johan ter Beest (jterbeest(a)ripe.net) To: kiran.gunana(a)colruytgroup.com Copy: ripe-atlas(a)ripe.net Subject: Re: [atlas] how to earn credits com236.259.148 Date: 11 July 2019 (12:07) Hi Kiran, You earn credits for the uptime of a probe and the delivered results for measurements that other hosts run towards your probe. Everything is explained here: https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/credits/ If your probe is not earning you any credits then there are two possible reasons: - your probe is not connected - you have not registered your probe so we don’t know who to give the credits to. I don’t know your probe ID so I. Cannot check but it’s most likely that it’s not registered. You can do that here: https://atlas.ripe.net/register/ If you send me a private email with your probe ID, I will give you the credits you should have earned in the last three weeks. Kind regards, Johan ter Beest RIPE Atlas.
