RIPE Atlas Documentation

2014-02-11 - Seismograph updates

The seismograph has been updated to handle "raw" ping results, in order to show minimum/average/maximum and packet loss information, in addition to the existing views. The probe selection and the zooming functions have also been enhanced.

Today we released a new feature: UDM status checks. These allow users to check the status of ongoing measurements, and connect this to their own monitoring systems in order to monitor connectivity, raise alarms, etc.

Recently we added the following UI features:
Probe tagging: you can now add various tags to your probe to describe the network situation (NAT/NONAT, connection type, etc.)
Revamping of maps: we introduced pin aggregation in order to avoid overloading the users' browser
Various enhancements to the network coverage page
You can find more details here: RIPE Atlas Midsummer Update 2014
In addition, DNSMON became a production RIPE Atlas service in July.

Many user-facing enhancements in the UI:
Probe connection status is available via API as a field
Allow filtering on description in the measurement API
Revamp the API key management page
Tweaks to the measurement UI
Allow maps to un-cluster result pins
Show relevant RIPE Atlas internal messages to users
Introduce separate quotas for starting one-off vs. ongoing measurements
Exclude "built-in" measurements from the calculation when checking for maximum parallel measurements against a target
Add documentation on streaming API
Enhance the coverage map with more countries and country names
Allow users to use probe tags when scheduling measurements
Tweaks to the probe auto-tagging feature
Added link to OpenIPMap for traceroute measurements
Community/leaderboard now uses "measurements contributed" instead of probe uptime
Display all IPv6 addresses reported by the probes
