Measurements

A Measurement in RIPE Atlas is an object holding information about one measurement ("one-off") or a series of measurements performed by one or more probes on the network. The response of a single measurement by a single probe is called a measurement result.

A measurement object contains three categories of information:

• Metadata: The ID, measurement type, selected probes, and whether it is public
• Specification: The measurement settings that probes need to perform measurements — a mix of base attributes and type-specific attributes (e.g. packets, protocol, interval)
• Status: Whether the measurement is running or stopped, start/stop times, and links to results
