Dear atlas team, I have a simple question. After crating a measurement how often the name of the target is resolved? E.g. I want to ping a target with a stable dyndns name, but with changing ip addresses. It seems to me that most probes don't refresh the ip address once the measurement has started, even it is just a daily ping. Regards, Thomas

Hello, If you expect that the target IP will change, you can ask the system to do the DNS resolution every time on the probe by enabling the "Resolve on Probe" flag in your mesasurement. This also works with dynamic DNS names that change frequently (or even every time). Regards, Robert

There is an option in the measurement specification called 'Resolve on Probe'. Without this option, the name is resolved when the measurement specification is submitted and probe's target a fixed IP address. With 'Resolve on Probe', the probe will try to resolve the name each time it performs the measurement. Philip
