Starting again a stopped custom measurement
Hello, This might seem like a silly question but I've found no way, whether through the Web UI or the POST API, to start a measurement that I have previously accidentally stopped. Is this a problem or simply a not-implemented feature? Sylvain Sent via RIPE Forum -- https://www.ripe.net/participate/mail/forum

Dear Sylvain, We do not support resuming a stopped measurement -- once a measurement is stopped it is frozen for good. The closest thing you can do is make a new POST request to the API based on the original measurement specification, but this will create a measurement with a new measurement ID. Can I ask how you accidentally stopped the measurement? If it was through the website, perhaps we need to improve the UI to make it harder for mistakes to happen. Kind regards, Chris Amin RIPE NCC
Thanks for your answer; the accidental stop of the measurement was a poor misclick, nothing wrong with the UI imho. I've seen recent news about why it'd be difficult to implement a delete function for the measurements, so I wanted to restart my measurement rather than create a new one and clog the UDM list. Doesn't really matter though. Sylvain Sent via RIPE Forum -- https://www.ripe.net/participate/mail/forum
