Hi Daniel, I sent an email (included below.) outlining a measurement with a specific interval done through the API and listed the response, please look at the email below. As for the Web UI measurement here is an example: /{u'result': u'/api/v1/measurement/1044471/result/', u'status': {u'id': 4, u'name': u'Stopped'}, u'msm_id': 1044471, u'interval': 1200, u'description': u'', u'participant_count': 50, u'can_visualise': False, u'resolve_on_probe': False, u'start_time': 1386161734, u'af': 6, u'creation_time': 1386161734, u'is_oneoff': False, u'stop_time': 1386165633, u'all_scheduling_requests_fulfilled': True, u'resolved_ips': [u'2001:7b8:40:1:d0e1:0:0:1'], u'dst_asn': u'12859', u'query': {u'type': u'AAAA', u'class': u'IN', u'value': u'nlnetlabs.nl.'}, u'is_public': True, u'type': {u'id': 7, u'name': u'dns'}, u'dst_addr': u'2001:7b8:40:1:d0e1:0:0:1', u'dst_name': u'2001:7b8:40:1:d0e1::1'}// / Robert Kisteleki suggested I send it through to atlas(a)ripe.net which I did and it has been listed as: [ripe.net #1113749] I received a response from Robert Kisteleki (which is the very last email included below), he said it might be a week or later until this gets investigated so he was right on the money :-) . Thank you for your response and we hope to see this bug(or whatever it is) get squashed :D P.S. If you could, please include Willem Toorop(Willem(a)nlnetlabs.nl) in the response as he was the one to mention this limitation to me and the one who suggested I email about this. He also sent an email outlining this issue but heard no response so I'm sure he would like to hear when a resolution to this limitation/bug/whatever has been found. P.P.S. At the bottom of the first included email is our work around which is get the probes specific to our needs (ipv6/4 etc..) and the chunk them into sizable chunks(50 probes work).

Measurements at an interval
by warwick 13 Dec '13

13 Dec '13

Hello again, I stumbled upon something peculiar when submitting measurements with an interval via the API. It seems when submitting a measurement with a specific interval the maximum number of probes I could use was 50, but through the web interface the exact measurement is acceptable with many more probes. Kind regards, Warwick Louw

Spectrum Internet Ltd (UK) has joined RIPE Atlas anchors
by Michela Galante 11 Dec '13

11 Dec '13

Dear RIPE Atlas users, We're happy to announce that another RIPE Atlas anchor has joined the network and is now available as a target for probe hosts conducting their own user-defined measurements. The new anchor is called uk-cdf-as48294 and is hosted by Spectrum Internet Ltd in Cardiff, United Kingdom. Anchoring measurements (ping, ping6, traceroute and traceroute6) are scheduled towards this anchor from all the other anchors as well as several hundred probes, providing a continual overview of regional reachability. Results of these measurements are available as raw data in JSON format, and visualised on the map and "seismograph" with many configurable features. You can access the anchoring measurements for all anchors at: https://atlas.ripe.net/anchors/list/ Learn more about RIPE Atlas anchors at: https://atlas.ripe.net/about/anchors/ Thank you for participating in RIPE Atlas!

Looking for more beta testers
by Vesna Manojlovic 04 Dec '13

04 Dec '13

Dear RIPE Atlas users, we are currently testing one new feature -- alerting functionality that would enable you to incorporate results from RIPE Atlas into your nagios (or similar). There is a closed list for beta-testers, where we announce these kind of small tests, to smooth out worst bugs before enabling the feature for all the users. We would like to invite few more brave users who are willing to give us feedback on these early prototypes. If interested, please subscribe to this list: https://www.ripe.net/mailman/listinfo/atlas-testers Your applications need to be approved, so please allow several days until you get a confirmation from us. Thanks! Vesna

Credits System
by warwick 04 Dec '13

04 Dec '13

Hello, I was wondering if you please explain how the credit system works, specifically traceroute measurements. I performed 2 measurements yesterday using large packets(1500) and targeted 500 probes per experiment. When the bill came it was rather shocking. I realize this is a tall order, but is the amount correct? The measurements I'm referring to are : 1043292 and 1043293. They each totaled to 1M credits, should it not be half of that? Kind regards, Warwick Louw

by Vesna Manojlovic 28 Nov '13

28 Nov '13

Dear RIPE Atlas users, We are proud to announce that the first RIPE Atlas anchor since this new service went into full production came online yesterday! It is situated in Munich, Germany, and is operated by Space.net. Congratulations on being the first one! Our thanks go to Gert Doering, who put in a lot of effort working alongside the RIPE NCC team through the new procedure, as well as to five other new hosts whose anchors will be activated tomorrow. From now on, we will announce each new anchor as it is activated, together with the anchoring measurements towards them. All RIPE Atlas anchors can be seen on this list and map: https://atlas.ripe.net/anchors/list/ https://atlas.ripe.net/anchors/map/ Kind regards, Vesna Manojlovic Measurements Community Building RIPE NCC
