RIPE Atlas Documentation

Status Checks ​

Status checks turn a measurement into a basis for alerts, allowing you to monitor network health.

Quick Start ​

  1. Create a RIPE Atlas ping measurement (up to 1,024 probes). Note the measurement ID.
  2. Query: https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v2/measurements/<measurement-id>/status-check (include an API key header if the measurement is not public)
  3. Check the URL periodically for changes
  4. Define your alerts based on the response

The following pages walk through examples from simple to advanced.
