Probe suddenly stopped working and active measurements failing

Subject: I didnt understand why is RIPE Atlas probe are not working properly.

Relevant details:

  • Cold reboot for couple of times and then again, still ctr-dub-sw01.
  • Power cycle couple of times → no luck
  • Reinstalled entire disk drive→ still no luck
  • Private key permissions: -rw------- (600) → confirmed correct
  • I’ve confirmed the public key in /etc/ripe-atlas/probe_key.pub matches exactly what’s registered on the portal for this probe, and I’ve re-saved the key on the portal multiple times to force a re-sync, but the issue persists.
  • No /var/atlas-probe/status/ssh_err.txt file present
  • Logs shows repeated condmv: not moving result, each failing quickly (not timing out) with a clean handshake completes quickly.
condmv: not moving, destination '/probe/var/spool/ripe-atlas/data/out/v6addr.txt' exists
condmv: not moving, destination '/probe/var/spool/ripe-atlas/data/out/simpleping' exists
condmv: not moving, destination '/probe/var/spool/ripe-atlas/data/out/v6addr.txt' exists
condmv: not moving, destination '/probe/var/spool/ripe-atlas/data/out/simpleping' exists
condmv: not moving, destination '/probe/var/spool/ripe-atlas/data/out/v6addr.txt' exists
condmv: not moving, destination '/probe/var/spool/ripe-atlas/data/out/simpleping' exists

It’s my log. I`m using OpenWrt 25.12, Docker host.

This repeats every 3 minutes, always with the same condmv: not moving result. Since the SSH handshake completes quickly (not a timeout/network issue) and the key is confirmed to match on both ends, this looks like the ctr-dub-sw01 isn’t recognizing the probe even though the portal shows it as connected but it does not send any measurements data.

What should I do to see if there’s something wrong with my setup?

Could someone from RIPE NCC take a look at probe list on the backend below:

  • Probe ID 1009000
  • Probe ID 1013973
  • Probe ID 1015467
  • Probe ID 1015468

Happy to provide any further logs or the exact public key fingerprint if useful.

Thanks in advance!

Below is the list of all my failed measurements. The first two are the traceroute and ping ones I said were not working. I have also mentioned the other ones that got completed, see for more info.

My measurements:

  1. 217722901 (TRACEROUTE)
  2. 217722900 (TRACEROUTE)
  3. 217702858 (PING)
  4. 217702857 (PING)
  5. 217722880 (PING)
  6. 217699851 (DNS)
