Ed Hi, (Not replying to individual messages, but to the thread in general) Thank you all for the trigger, we re-vived this issue and will come up with a reasonable solution "soon" - hopefully measured in weeks, not years :-) In many cases the trigger "your probe is down" itself resulted host action, tough I do appreciate that an automated "it's fine now" can also help.

Re: [atlas] Probe operator notifications
Another way is to setup a script listening at measurement id 7000. This logs all the probes connection/disconnection to RIPE controllers.

Re: [atlas] Probe operator notifications
For this purpose I use an online ping check service. Your probe need to have IPv6 or public IPv4 and ICMP be not blocked by a firewall to be able to respond pings from outside. To be exact, I use http://wedos.online that is run by one of the largest server-hosting company in the Czech Republic. It is free of charge. You can choose how often (1 minute or more) it will ping the probe and how many pings can be lost, then it sends both DOWN and UP notifications (email, Slack, Rocket chat) Cheers Jiri __ > Od: "Ponikierski, Grzegorz" > Komu: "Edward Lewis" , "ripe-atlas@ripe.net" > > Datum: 11.12.2020 12:16 > Předmět: Re: [atlas] Probe operator notifications > >+1 for 'your probe came back on-line' > >Regards, >Grzegorz > >From: Edward Lewis >Date: Thursday 2020-12-10 at 22:32 >To: "ripe-atlas@ripe.net" >Cc: Ed Lewis >Subject: [atlas] Probe operator notifications > >(Seeing the thread about DNS intercepted probes reminded me to send this:) > >For 5 or so years running I have a probe operating in my garage (behind my >home’s NAT and using the ISP’s NXDOMAIN rewriting, non-DNSSEC handling >recursive server) a run-of-the-mill home cable set up. > >When I got my November report, it said I’d been down the last half of >November.

I have voiced the wish for "back on-line notice" like two years ago, and was told "it's complicated"... well... doesn't have to be millisecond- accurate, but if it saves me driving to a remote location, a few minutes delay are not that bad.
