DNS Measurement Grouping by NSID
by Klaus Darilion 30 Nov '18

30 Nov '18

Hi! IIRC, the map of the DNS measurement allowed to group the dataset by NSID. Was this feature removed? OR is it now somewhere else? I.e.: https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/17175212/?filter=&diversity-picker=3&ag… Thanks Klaus

Minor change to Atlas anchor DNS resolver configuration
by Anand Buddhdev 28 Nov '18

28 Nov '18

Dear colleagues, Each RIPE Atlas anchor runs a DNS resolver. This resolver is configured as the primary resolver for the anchor, with the following directive at the top of the resolver configuration (/etc/resolv.conf): nameserver 127.0.0.1 For ease of configuration management, we are changing this directive to: nameserver ::1 This change will not affect DNS resolution on the anchors in any way. However, any measurement that does DNS lookups using the anchor's primary resolver will contain "::1" instead of "127.0.0.1" in "src_addr" field of results. If you're using any code to parse such results, and specifically looking for "127.0.0.1", you'll need to adjust your code to also look for "::1". Regards, Anand Buddhdev RIPE NCC

Hi, Are there any problems with the Atlas backend? All requests are answered with {u'info': u'Something went wrong with our back-end', u'type': u'redis- fail'} I don't see any working measurements in our webportal as well.

Temporary problem with RIPE Atlas measurement creation
by Chris Amin 01 Nov '18

01 Nov '18

Dear RIPE Atlas users, Due to a complication during a deploy, there was a problem scheduling RIPE Atlas measurements from approximately 12:50 to 14:14 UTC. Most new measurements created during this time will not have been scheduled properly. The issue is now fixed for new measurements, so if your measurements didn't work during this time you can try to create them again and it should work. Apologies for any inconvenience caused. Regard, Chris Amin RIPE NCC

Delays over the weekend
by Robert Kisteleki 29 Oct '18

29 Oct '18

Dear all, Some of you have noticed that there were delays in how RIPE Atlas behaved, starting on Saturday. This happened because of an issue deep in the bowels of the infrastructure which caused tasks (including measurement requests) to pile up. We believe the issue has been resolved by now, though we're still investigating the root cause of the issue. We apologise for the inconvenience this caused. Regards, Robert Kisteleki RIPE Atlas team

New set - wizard improvements suggestion
by Evgeniy S. 24 Oct '18

24 Oct '18

Dear All, finally we are using our ripe probes to monitor our resources from mobile networks. I found that current "new set - wizard" functionality is lacking some useful extra filters using: 1) "User tags" - then I can tag my mobile probes and select only mobile network probes from the list. 2) mine, favorites, sponsored, ambassadorships It will be also nice to request to tag mobile network probes for users who run them. Any feedback is appreciated. I'm also interesting for getting in touch with people who have probes installed in mobile networks to make tests / comparing to our setup. -- With regards, Eugene

Relocating a probe
by Gary Gapinski 20 Oct '18

20 Oct '18

Hello: I currently host a probe (#14102) at my residence. I will soon move to a new residence about 450 miles from the current location. Such a move will necessarily alter measurements obtained relative to past ones (as well as ASN, geolocation, etc.). Should the existing probe identity be retired in favor of a new identity? (And if so how might that be accomplished?) Regards, Gary

Definition of Commercial Use
by Mic Szillat 04 Oct '18

04 Oct '18

Hi folks, I have a discussion in my company about the definition of commercial use. Can we please get an official confirmation whether our typical usage of Atlas is covered by the terms of service? We occasionally use Atlas to debug network connectivity between our systems and those of our customers. We answer support requests and confirm or deny network issues based on the data collected. We do not give customers access to the measurement interface. Thanks, Mic
