This might not actually be desirable until the probes stop crashing so often :) It might be more useful to have alarms that trigger on things like sudden or sustained increases in latency or loss, configurable by the probe host. --Richard On Sep 6, 2011, at 10:35 PM, Robert wrote:

What do other participants think about having email alerts when a probe goes offline or online?

I’d like this is at will alert me to any network issue as soon as it happens allowing for that issue to be investigated and rectified.

This means that the alert could serve a dual purpose:

· Increased network uptime · Greater availability of the RIPE Atlas Probe (and thus increased data gathering).

Anyway, this is something that I’d like to see – email alerts at a minimum.
