Add E-Mail notification when a probe is back up (for more than 60 minutes)
by Roman Mamedov 19 Sep '13

19 Sep '13

Hello, Got one of these: > Your probe 73 has been disconnected since 2013-09-19 09:26:19 UTC. > > This is an automatically generated email from RIPE Atlas. It was sent to you because you asked to be notified if your probe becomes disconnected for more than 60 minutes. > > If you want to change this, or disable this notification altogether, please go to https://atlas.ripe.net/atlas/myprobes.html, click on "My Probes" and then on probe 73. In the opened tab, select "Probe's Settings" and then "Notifications" to change your settings. > > Kind regards, > > RIPE Atlas Team > What's unusual this time, is that I did not change anything in my network setup, and I can still ping the probe both on its local v4 and global v6 addresses. So one way of action would be to unplug and replug the probe in hope that it sorts out itself; 2nd course of action would be to simply wait and see if it reconnects on its own. If I choose this, I have to keep the Atlas website open in a browser tab, refreshing from time to time to see if the readings changed to "Connected". So what baffles me about this, why can't I get a simple E-Mail notification same way as "it went down", to tell me that "ok now it's back up"? -- With respect, Roman

"Spoofing" tests.
by Warren Kumari 18 Sep '13

18 Sep '13

Apologies if this has already been discussed enlist -- I took a quick look though the archives and didn't see it. I believe that the reason for not allowing things like tests that send spoofed packets is that it might violate the AUP that participants have with their ISPs / be viewed by participants ISPs as an attack. So, what about having a checkbox in the Probe Settings that says something like: "I have no AUP with my ISP or I'm fine to violate my AUP. Run intrusive or dangerous tests on this probe" ? This would create a subset of probes that could be used for more interesting tests, an d would allow for greater visibility into things. W --- It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problem just with potatoes. --Douglas Adams

No IPv6 Connection on Probe
by David Churchill 13 Sep '13

13 Sep '13

I've noticed that my probe (12070) has not had any IPv6 connectivity for the last several days. I've reset the probe a couple of times and verified that my internet service still has full IPv6 connectivity (@http://test-ipv6.comcast.net/). Is there anything I can do to restore the IPv6 connectivity? Thanks, David C. Churchill 5285 Vinings Springs Trl Mableton, GA 30126 770.819.5935 d_churchill(a)comcast.net

A small matter of terminology
by Stephane Bortzmeyer 10 Sep '13

10 Sep '13

A long time ago, there was only one sort of measurement. Then, one-off measurements were created. How do we call the other category? Periodic measurements? Repeated measurements?

Using Atlas for commercial services
by Stephane Bortzmeyer 05 Sep '13

05 Sep '13

Hello, happy Atlasers, After reading <https://labs.ripe.net/Members/kranjbar/future-of-ripe-ncc-technical-services> (specially the part about using Atlas to monitor reachability from Nagios), the ToS <https://atlas.ripe.net/service-rules/> and checking the FAQ <https://atlas.ripe.net/about/faq/>, I still have a question: Can I use Atlas as a basis for commercial services? Today, most Atlas uses seem to be for public research, or for "selfish" measurements (checking my network). But I see nothing forbidding people to sell services (monitoring, quality assessment) to other people, based on Atlas. Is it on purpose? [Yes, I have one or two business ideas and I would like to know before I continue developing them.]

Re: [atlas] Using Atlas for commercial services

As already said, commercial usage would also mean that you have to earn credits in some way. As far as I know, it's only possible to earn credits by - hosting probes itself - sponsoring new probes - getting a LIR In either of the first two cases, the atlas project will benefit from it. The third one is a special case and isn't worth a discussion. So I think we should allow commercial usage of the Atlas project, if commercial usage still means to support the Atlas project itself because of the need for credits! Would be a win-win situation.

Disabling one measurement on my probe...
by Warren Kumari 02 Sep '13

02 Sep '13

Hi all, Due to much stupidity my probe lives behind 2 NATs (don't ask). Anyway, one of the NATs / firewalls is suddenly throwing hissyfits and logging a bunch of messages like: [00005] 2013-08-27 17:33:29 [Root]system-critical-00435: ICMP fragment! From 78.46.37.134 to 192.168.15.207, proto 1 (zone Untrust, int ethernet3). Occurred 2 times. I can see the Measurement IDs that are causing this (1019675, 1019728), but I have two questions: 1: is there a way to disable specific measurements from a specific probe and 2: did anything change recently with the "Ping" measurement, like the packet size for example? I *did* spend some time reading the list archives and documentation, but was not able to find an answer. W P.S: And yes, I will sometime remove the NATs, but cannot until there is another ISP available -- I live in a 3rd world country where any broadened is a luxury, and multiple providers is more than one can reasonably expect… -- "When it comes to glittering objects, wizards have all the taste and self-control of a deranged magpie." -- Terry Pratchett

Data visualization not working?
by Max Grobecker 29 Aug '13

29 Aug '13

Hi, is there any known reason/issue why new created measurements don't visualize the data? I'm pretty sure I ticked the "Visualize Data" box when creating a new measurement, but when I open my new measurement, the "RRD" tab is missing and in the settings the "Visualize" box is unchecked :-( Is it just me or do other people have the same issue? Greetings, Max
