Oh wow! Did not notice that existed. This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks Andreas. On Thu, Feb 11, 2016 at 2:02 AM, Andreas Strikos <astrikos@ripe.net> wrote:

Hi Anurag,

you can do what you want with RIPE Atlas Tools in two steps.

First get a list of probes that are around a city like:

ripe-atlas probes --location Amsterdam --ids-only --radius 20

If you do:

ripe-atlas probes -h

you can see some explanation of the options.

And then get the above list and pass it as a comma separated list to the measure command like:

ripe-atlas measure traceroute --from-probes 1,2,3,4 your_target

--paris is the paris traceroute option. It should be an integer from 0 to 64 as stated in the RIPE Atlas website documentation. <https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/measurement-creation-api/>

I hope that helps!

Regards, Andreas

Hello everyone,

I was looking at possible command line tool to trigger traces from Atlas from given city or that area.

The closest I can see is RIPE Atlas Tools - <https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/ripe-atlas-tools> https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/ripe-atlas-tools but these let to only put source country or region.

1. Is anyone aware of how one can trigger traces via CLI from specific cities? *(I would love to do trace from a nearby city if specific city does not have Atlas coverage)* 2. In the Ripe Atlas Tools I see in documentation it refers to an argument "[--paris paris]". Is anyone aware of what does it mean? It seems to be asking for an integer value.

Thanks in advance!
