Hi Anurag,

you can do what you want with RIPE Atlas Tools in two steps.

First get a list of probes that are around a city like:

ripe-atlas probes --location Amsterdam --ids-only --radius 20

If you do:

ripe-atlas probes -h

you can see some explanation of the options.

And then get the above list and pass it as a comma separated list to the measure command like:

ripe-atlas measure traceroute --from-probes 1,2,3,4 your_target

--paris is the paris traceroute option. It should be an integer from 0 to 64 as stated in the RIPE Atlas website documentation.

I hope that helps!

Regards,
Andreas

Hello everyone, 

I was looking at possible command line tool to trigger traces from Atlas from given city or that area. 

The closest I can see is RIPE Atlas Tools - https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/ripe-atlas-tools but these let to only put source country or region. 

1. Is anyone aware of how one can trigger traces via CLI from specific cities? (I would love to do trace from a nearby city if specific city does not have Atlas coverage)
2. In the Ripe Atlas Tools I see in documentation it refers to an argument "[--paris paris]". Is anyone aware of what does it mean? It seems to be asking for an integer value. 

Thanks in advance!
