Hi, I have a question on repeated/periodic measurements. Let's say I'm able to say "use 50 probes with tag 'anchor' and without tag 'ipv6 problems'". Would the set of probes update when the tags change? E.g. if a probe has a problem with ipv6, to be removed automatically from the list? I'm using this for monitoring purposes, e.g. linked in Icinga to see if my network's visibility drops, and currently there are a lot of false positives for ipv6. -- Regards, Vasil Kolev
Hello,
Hi,
I have a question on repeated/periodic measurements. Let's say I'm able to say "use 50 probes with tag 'anchor' and without tag 'ipv6 problems'". Would the set of probes update when the tags change? E.g. if a probe has a problem with ipv6, to be removed automatically from the list?
When you schedule a measurement, the system tries to find the best probes that match your criteria and involve them in your measurement. For now, this set of probes does not change over time automatically -- but you can ask for changes yourself. We have a feature on our roadmap to deal with situations where probes disappear over time, and do "something" about it: warn the user, replace with new probes, stop the measurement, ... The issue is that this, by definition, results in a change of probes over time, so interpreting the results becomes trickier. At the moment this feature is only planned to work with probes that disappear (ie. get unplugged), not when they change properties. That is even more difficult to do -- think about how to avoid flapping, for example. It would be useful to hear what other think about such features, so we can better understand what the user needs are. Regards, Robert
