ok.

[atlas] Minor change in the API Participation Requests endpoint

2018-04-16 Thread Agustin Formoso
Dear Atlas users,

We're planning to roll-out a minor change in the API Participation Requests 
endpoint. We'll be changing the response that gets sent out when a 
Participation Request is submitted. Although minor, the change may break your 
code if you are making use of the response.

Current response example:
[35878]

Future response example after roll-out:

{
   'request_ids': [35878]
}

We plan to put this change into production two weeks from now.

For those who don't know what Participation Requests are, they allow you to add 
or remove probes from a pre-existing measurement. You can find more information 
in https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/api/v2/manual/participation_requests.html

Regards

Hi Stephane,

What is typically the case is that the server side has all kinds of
restrictions on the ciphers that it is willing to accept.

I recently made some changes to support a server where the sslcert
measurement would also fail. With these changes 'trigger-happy.eu' is
happy as well.

At moment I have no clear idea when the next firmware will be released.
It may take a few months.

There's nothing you have to do when a probe is down; it is automatically
marked as disconnected almost immediately, and if it isn't plugged back
in  then it is marked as "abandoned" after 90 days and "written off"
after 180 days (both of which are reversible states, so don't worry too
much).

We have generally tried to move away from using remote areas to signify
particular probe statuses as it confuses various visualisations. Feel
free to leave the location as it is, or use the location of the
suitcase, or whatever else you feel to be appropriate.

If you are concerned about being auto-nagged about the probe being
disconnected, we get that and there is an upcoming feature that will
enable you to switch off notifications for a particular probe when you
know that it will be disconnected for a while.

Finally, if you really feel like it then you're free to edit either the
probe description or the tags to signify whatever you like, so you could
make a note for your own purposes or for anybody who's curious.
