Probes
A Probe object contains attributes and status information of a RIPE Atlas probe.
- Probes can be public or non-public
- Probes can have one or multiple tags (see Probe Tags for details)
- Key attributes include IP addresses, ASN, and geographic location
- Status information includes connection state and first connect time
Privacy
Geographic locations are obfuscated for all users (within 80–400m of actual location).
IP addresses are only shown for public probes. Non-public probe IPs are only visible to the probe host. IP prefixes, if known, are visible to all users.
Connection Status
The status field indicates the probe's current state:
| Status | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Never Connected | Verified but never connected to the network |
| 2 | Connected | Currently connected and available for measurements |
| 3 | Disconnected | Was connected but currently offline |
| 4 | Abandoned | Offline for several months |
