Is there a procedure to move a software probe to a new device
Noob question. I set up my software probe on a Debian 10 box which has quite a few small servers on it. However, I intend to move it onto a Raspberry Pi, so I was wondering if there's a specific procedure to follow to preserve existing settings? Only the internal IP address will change; the external remains the same.

1. Install Atlas SW Probe on the new host and update the SSH key in the RIPE Atlas portal. 2. Install Atlas SW Probe on the new host and restore the existing SSH key from the old host, restart atlas software. -- Chriztoffer

Perfect, thanks!
Hi, I have a few probes in my house(s) and practice and I wonder whether it is possible to measure the uptime (and speed) of all or some of them on a more or less continuous basis, and if so how one would go about it. Total amateur that I am I would appreciate pointers to where I can read that up, as it surely must have been done before... greetings, el -- Dr. Eberhard W.

I don't think that's practical to measure speed on a continious basis. The rationale (although I could be wrong) is that as far as I know the only way to reliably measure the throughput of a link is to saturate it. kind regards, Ray
Ray, thanks. I meant more or less continuously, but your comment makes sense. I assume I can look at uptime by downloading JSON from the GUI. Is there a way of scripting this? Has anyone looked at this using R? el On 01/02/2022 13:29, Ray Bellis wrote:

AFAIK Atlas probes cannot be scripted and they were never designed to do speed tests. Folks form RIPE can correct me if I'm wrong. What you look for can be probably fulfilled by other measurement tools like for example SamKnows but I don't know if they sell probes for individuals. Alternatively, you can build your custom software probe on Raspberry Pi 4.0 which has enough computing power and real 1G link to do proper test.

Hi, In the research & education networking world, perfSONAR is the tool commonly used for this. It’s open source, free and available at https://www.perfsonar.net/. The CERN experiment infrastructure around the world has ~1000 perfSONAR nodes deployed, for example. It can be used on everything from Raspberry Pi for Gigabit links up to 100G Ethernet links using well-specified and tuned servers. It runs continuous loss and latency tests, and (by default) throughput tests to configured destinations every 6 hours. Its pScheduler component ensures throughput tests are scheduled to be non conflicting. Such tests can use for example iperf2, iperf3 or Ethr. There was a talk yesterday about perfSONAR on Pi devices and with Docker - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbYpK2PtVnI, and a more general perfSONAR talk at UKNOF in December - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jj8_cLLDQ2g.
