LookingGlass’s latest_time hasn’t been updated for a long time. Below is some data after a request:
Request URL: curl --location --request GET “https://stat.ripe.net/data/looking-glass/data.json?resource=8.8.8.8”

I encountered the same issue when testing other prefixes.

Hi, any information about this RRC01 issue, I check our IP also not update the path information

Hi farid,

This parameter should represent the freshness of the data and has nothing to do with whether the routing information is updated. I found that all RRCs seem to have this problem.

Hi Farid,

The last_updated for a route is the time at which we received the (re)announcement that caused this route to be present. A route with an old last_updated is “stable”.

The time field in the response is the time at which the request from webapp to the backend was made (this is now cached for <15 seconds).

The looking had delays on a very low number of peers over the last week (1/10th of rrc07). At the time we thought this was not service affecting enough to put on statuspage, but that has resolved.

Kind regards,
Ties
