Hi Jeremy,
Liverpool would have happy to take one if there are any left. Steve or I
should be around this morning.

A summary can be found from Step-4 onwards here: https://atlas.ripe.net/get-involved/become-a-host/. You may also find the FAQ page of interest (especially the security summary and link for more information): https://atlas.ripe.net/about/faq/.

>> If you want to take one for your site, or suggest an endpoint we might want to engage, please come and see me during the coming days. For the monitoring I need to log probe details with site names, so please only request one if you intend to deploy it! We do not need all GridPP sites to have one of these, but a few more (at least) would be nice. As many of you know, Chris has found the probe a useful complement to perfSONAR (partly because there are now many endpoints with 6000+ probes now linked). There are a number of basic measurements the probes enable (for process see https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/udm/). RIPE provides the following declaration:
>>
>> "The probes use a very small amount of bandwidth and cannot determine any information about the content passing to or from their host computers. Probes conduct the following types of measurements: ping, traceroute, DNS and SSLcert."
>>
>> If there is nobody from your site at GridPP33 but you would like to install a probe then please let me know via email. Note that the UK is quite well covered by probes (mostly outside HE) so private requests now end up in a waiting list.
>>
>> Many thanks,
>> Jeremy
