Scripts for alerts

RIPE Atlas functionality: 
https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/api/v2/manual/measurements/status-checks.html

Examples of home-made scripts for using RIPE Atlas for automatic notifications using existing monitoring systems (nagios, icing and similar) 

Wolfgang Nagele (note: edited for API v2 compatibility):

check_http -S -H atlas.ripe.net -j HEAD -d 'X-RIPE-Atlas-Global-Alert: 0' -u /api/v2/measurements/<MSM_ID>/status-check[?key=<api_key>]

Here is what I use in Icinga (note: edited for API v2 compatibility):

define service {
     use generic-service
     host_name madiba
     service_description Test_Atlas
     check_command check_http!-H atlas.ripe.net -I atlas.ripe.net  -r 'global_alert":false' --ssl=1 -u /api/v2/measurements/1963375/status-check?permitted_total_alerts=1
}

Modifed the example above for usage with Icinga 2
