Connectivity Problems in China
by Klaus Darilion 27 Jan '18

27 Jan '18

Hi! I have probe #248 which was working fine for long time. Now I sent it to a friend in China. He connected it to his home DSL account but the probe is still disconnected. Are you aware of any firewall problems for probes in China? Should the be able to connect on a normal residental Internet access? Where does the probes tries to connect? (Hostname, IP) so I can try to telnet the IP:port from a normal PC. Thanks Klaus

Probe shown as offline although LEDs appear online
by Andre Heinrichs 25 Jan '18

25 Jan '18

Hi, My Probe #29384 has started being reported as offline although the LEDs show no problem. I’ve just tried switching to another USB stick without apparent success. The weird part is that the probe seems to not send any SOS requests as soon as it started running off the USB. I’m guessing that makes it offline. If I’m interpreting the connection & traffic graph correctly the probe is still able to return results. Any advice what I could do now would be appreciated. TIA, Andre Heinrichs

Hi, I'm Francisco Colmenares from IPYS Venezuela. I am writing to you because I have a conuslta. After having registered on the RIPE ATLAS page, connect the RIPE to the network, however when I search for the ID in the search engine that has the web page it gives me the ERROR: 101: no entries found. Is there a step I'm missing? Greetings. -- Francisco Colmenares Desarrollo web y Soporte técnico. IPYS Venezuela 0426-1991873

HTTP server configuration fix deployed to v3 anchors
by Stephen D. Strowes 22 Jan '18

22 Jan '18

Hi, Recently we identified a web server misconfiguration on our v3 anchors, such that those anchors would not respond as expected to requests with their IP literal in the URL. Requests to their FQDN worked as expected. In other words: * http://nl-ams-as3333-3.anchors.atlas.ripe.net:80/ would respond as expected, but * http://[2001:67c:2e8:3::c100:a4]:80/ would respond with a 404 status code. The configuration was fixed and deployed by around 0900UTC on 16 January, 2018. V3 anchors now respond correctly to requests issued with their IP literal in the URL. This affected HTTP measurements to v3 anchors as follows: * Before the fix was deployed, HTTP measurements to a v3 anchor with 'Resolve on probe' set to false will have used the IP literal, and thus logged a 404 status code. * HTTP measurements as above that were running when the fix was deployed will have started returning correct results part-way through their run. If the measurement is ongoing, no other action needs to be taken. * HTTP measurements with 'Resolve on probe' set to true always operated as expected. Cheers, Stephen Strowes RIPE NCC

Minor changes in the credits transactions API endpoint
by Viktor Naumov 17 Jan '18

17 Jan '18

Dear colleagues, We made some changes to the credits transactions API. The changes relate to the use of another storage back-end. * Transaction IDs are no longer used to retrieve the data. * There is no detail transaction endpoint anymore, all transactions are served as paged lists. * The main transaction endpoint remains /api/v2/credits/transactions/ Deprecated endpoints are as follows: * /api/v2/credits/transactions/<transaction_id> * /api/v2/credits/transactions/admin/<transaction_id> * /api/v2/credits/transactions/measurement/<transaction_id> * /api/v2/credits/transactions/probe/<transaction_id> The transactions endpoint reference is accessible at: https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/api/v2/reference/ Best regards, Viktor Naumov RIPE NCC

Probe and firewall settings?
by Tim Chown 15 Jan '18

15 Jan '18

Hi, At https://atlas.ripe.net/about/faq/#so-which-services-do-i-need-for-my-probe-… it says "The absolute minimum set is DHCP, DNS and outgoing TCP port 443 (HTTPS) in order to allow the probe to connect to the network. However, this in itself is not enough to do measurements, which is the entire focus of RIPE Atlas, so you should also allow ICMP, UDP (DNS + traceroute), TCP for traceroute and HTTP(S)." What specific ports and protocols are required for routine operation and for inbound or outbound measurements to be configured? I think the above info could be a little more detailed (having had questions asked of me). Many thanks, Tim

beta status page vs. ipv6 only network
by Bjoern Buerger 15 Jan '18

15 Jan '18

Hi, One of our probes has a warning "IPv4 Doesn't Work Properly" on the beta Status Page, along with a "IPv4 doesn't work" Tag on the main page. While this is technically correct, the cause is simple and nothing is broken. We just removed IPv4 from that specific network segment (because it's not needed anymore). Is it possible to somehow tag the probe as "single stack on purpose" in the configuration page? Thanks in advance, Bjørn

#6262 Disconnectted
by Stanish Stanishev 12 Jan '18

12 Jan '18

Hello, Yesterday i got a notification that one of the our Anchors - #6262 has disconnected from Atlas. According to its Current Status info - DNS Problem Suspected. I see the anchor is configured to use the following DNS Resolvers - 8.8.8.8 and 2620:74:1b::1:1. The anchor responds to pings and is reachable from the world. Also the resolvers 8.8.8.8 are 2620:74:1b::1:1 reachable from the anchor's uplink router. So apart from checking the anchor's connectivity and DNS resolvers I don't have much left to do in order to get the anchor connected again. Has anyone faced this situation before ? Thanks Stanish Sent via RIPE Forum -- https://www.ripe.net/participate/mail/forum

Minor changes in the probe archive API
by Viktor Naumov 10 Jan '18

10 Jan '18

Dear colleagues, We made some changes to the probe archives API. The changes relate to the use of another storage back-end. In addition to the "date" URL argument, which returns the all probes dump for the given date, the new version enables ranges of dates to be specified for all or selected probes. The example below will return dumps for probes 1, 5, 81, 82, 83 for dates in the range [2018-01-03, 2018-01-06): https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v2/probes/archive?/api/v2/probes/archive?date__g… Best regards RIPE Atlas Team
