Hi, i noticed another problem besides the hardware, the "controllers" are not really highly-available? (E.g. ctr-ams07, NL) Sometimes the probes are disconnected from a RIPE controller for some time even though there is no absolutely no network issue at the probes site. I suppose this could

maybe virtual vm probes might be useful to investigate and also a split file system for v3 probs with /var/log on a different file system ? Colin > On 25 Aug 2016, at 15:30, Mirjam Kuehne wrote: > > > Dear colleagues, > > We took another, more detailed look at probe lifetimes and the dynamic

Dear colleagues, We took another, more detailed look at probe lifetimes and the dynamics of probes connecting and disconnecting from the RIPE Atlas infrastructure to try to understand how to keep the network growing in the long term. https://labs.ripe.net/Members/wilhelm/another-look-at-ripe-atl
