I've seen that the status of a measurement is updated much later than when the measurement results become available. For instance, while the RTTs of a ping measurement are returned the status is still Ongoing for up to 3 minutes. Is there anything (such as sanity checks) that intervenes between the update of the results and and update of the measurement status, which may change the results? Or is it safe to assume that once the results are out the measurement status will eventually change to 'Stopped', just a bit later?
Thanks! Vasileios
Hi, There's a loose relation between measurement stop time and when the last measurement results come in. Results can come after stop time (e.g. when some probes couldn't be told to stop measuring) and stop time can happen after the last results came in (e.g. in the case of one-offs). When the results are available for download is also a different dimension; there are multiple buffering points involved, and if one of them is clogged then the results can be delayed. This is normal, especially in the case of network partitioning or maintenance work, for example. Regards, Robert
