DNS resolution
by Thomas Schäfer 20 Aug '21

20 Aug '21

Dear atlas team, I have a simple question. After crating a measurement how often the name of the target is resolved? E.g. I want to ping a target with a stable dyndns name, but with changing ip addresses. It seems to me that most probes don't refresh the ip address once the measurement has started, even it is just a daily ping. Regards, Thomas

Dear colleagues, In a new article on RIPE Labs, Nevil Brownlee presents an analysis of RIPE Atlas traceroutes for days in 2012, 2015, 2017 and 2019 with full network graphs for each successive half-hour, and develops an algorithm for finding node or edge outages of an hour or more: https://labs.ripe.net/author/nevil/exploring-ripe-atlas-traceroutes-from-20… Kind regards, Antony Gollan Communications Team Leader RIPE NCC

Upgrade existing Anchor to newer hardware
by Cathal Mooney 05 Aug '21

05 Aug '21

Hi, I am working for the Wikimedia Foundation, and we have several Atlas Anchor's deployed at various locations. Some time ago the Anchor we had in our location in Dallas, US (p6093.probes.atlas.ripe.net) failed due to a hardware failure. We are now attempting to replace the Anchor with new hardware which we have installed. The old device was a v2 Anchor (Soekris), however, and the new device is v3 (PC Engines APU.2E2). Given the newer hardware I expect we will need a different USB image to boot from? Our hope would be to re-use the previous IP addressing and other details so that does not need to change. What might be the best way to approach this? Many thanks, Cathal.

Representative probe sets in eyeball networks by country
by Bart van der Sloot 21 Jul '21

21 Jul '21

Hi RIPE Atlas community, Can anyone recommend/provide predefined probe sets which provide a fair representation of the eyeball networks in a country, e.g. “10 probes in each of the Top 5 eyeball networks in France” – and preferably probes that are “in” these eyeball networks (and/or close to their interconnection routers – where they peer or connect to their Transit providers, decreasing the dependency on last mile access and in-home networks) and probes that have a high uptime? Thanks in advance for your reactions!

anchor disk recovery
by Matthieu Herrb 20 Jul '21

20 Jul '21

Hi, after a power outage, our anchor got its grub.cfg file corrupted. I managed to use a .rpmsave boot.cfg that was present on the disk and boot into the recovery kernel. >From here the anchor is alive again on the management interface at https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/7000/ but I guess it's still in a unstable state. What is the procedure to actually repair the installation ? Should I re-install it from the USB image, or is there something else I can do remotely ? x -- Matthieu Herrb

Latest data point shown is from 2021-07-16 10:43 UTC
by Thomas Schäfer 19 Jul '21

19 Jul '21

Hi, I run two independent software probes. Looking at the graphs "Built-ins" I get the orange text: "Latest data point shown is from 2021-07-16 10:43 UTC" It only happens on the software probes. My hw probe seems to run without that problem. All three probes are online "Your probe is currently connected" Regards, Thomas

Unable to create measurements in RIPE Atlas
by Salvador Bertenbreiter 12 Jul '21

12 Jul '21

Hi guys, I hope you're doing well. I am preparing an article about latency in LATAM and I would like to use RIPE Atlas to gather some data, unfortunately, I'm not being able to create my first measurement, I completed the three first steps: 1) Ping x.x.x.x 2) Selected 10 probes in Peru 3) Choose the time interval But when I click on the Create My Measurement(s) button nothing happens, I don't even receive an error message about a missing or wrong field. Any idea what could be happening? Are you able to create measurements without issues? Thank you Best regards, -- Salvador Bertenbreiter (+51) 947 145 352

Getting RRSIG records when do bit is set
by pravicha 07 Jul '21

07 Jul '21

Hello, When I set the do bit in dig, I get back RRSIG records associated with the Query Type, but I don’t get the RRSIGs when I create a measurement with do bit set in Ripe Atlas. Can I replicate the same behavior in RIPE atlas? Thanks

Is there a way to find the resolver used by the probe?
by pravicha 06 Jul '21

06 Jul '21

Hello, I’ve been trying to get dns measurements for a couple of domains over different regions using atlas probes. Is there a way to find the resolver’s IP used by the probes when use_probe_resolver is set to true? Thanks
