Hello, The network coverage page [1] shows around 10K+ registered probes. However, if I call the probe API [2], the total_count field shows 8K probes. Probe objects also have is_public field, so I assume the API counts both public and private probes. There is also a status field, so I assume the API counts connected, disconnected and abandoned probes as well. What am I missing?

I think it's just how you're reading the chart, which is probably more a failing of the chart than your perception of it. The yellow bars on the chart represent the *registered users*, while the blue bars represent the *active probes*. As you can see the active probes appear to be just over 5000, which makes sense as this only counts the probes online at the time the chart was generated. It's on my list to clean up that chart, and break up the bars into sub-groups rather than stacked like they are now, but until then I hope this explanation will suffice.

Who are registered users? - who have registered a RIPE account via? https://access.ripe.net - who registered to receive a probe irrespective of whether it’s online?

Yep, this syncs with the API. However, the geographical distribution plot uses the term, “connected probes”, but the stacked plot below uses the term “active probes”. What is the difference between connected and active probes?

It would be nice to have an associated table with hard numbers.

A registered user, in the context of RIPE Atlas is a user who has registered a RIPE account via https://access.ripe.net/ AND has visited the Atlas site at lease once while they're logged in.

Yeah that was just poor choice of names at the time that that page was created. I've since brought them in line so now they both say "connected probes". If you do a refresh on the coverage page you'll see :-)

Aha! This definition is difficult to guess. It would be nice to have ^ description on the network coverage webpage.

Thanks for a quick action on this. Best, Vaibhav ----------------------------------------------------- Vaibhav Bajpai Research I, Room 86 Computer Networks and Distributed Systems (CNDS) Lab School of Engineering and Sciences Jacobs University Bremen, Germany www.vaibhavbajpai.com
Dear all at RIPE, hope you all had a good easter break. I moved home after Xmas and finally managed to get FTTC for home internet. I have plugged probe back in and I think working again How does one check it is alive and working again ? probe id 2317 Does it take a few days for ripe status pages to update themselves ? Colin

You could use the Probe API [1]: https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v1/probe/2317/?format=json returns: { "address_v4": "86.153.136.154", "address_v6": null, "asn_v4": 2856, "asn_v6": null, "country_code": "GB", "id": 2317, "is_anchor": false, "is_public": true, "latitude": 53.4805, "longitude": -2.2525, "prefix_v4": "86.128.0.0/11", "prefix_v6": null, "status": 1, "status_name": "Connected", "status_since": 1398169190 } You should also be able to log in to your Atlas pages and see the status of your probes. HTH, [1] https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/rest/#probe
Does it take a few days for ripe status pages to update themselves ?

... your probe page is here: https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/2317/

normally it should not... It says here that your probe was up last for 19 hours. That would mean it got activated y'day at 5am Can you please check this page to see if all is ok? Thank you for taking part in RIPE Atlas! Regards, Vesna
