Graphs

The Graphs group holds the map- and distribution-shaped views: where the fleet sits geographically, how deployment has moved, how probe coverage tracks AS population, and the event stream as a chart rather than a list.

All of these are public.

Probe-archive geography

/graphs/probes-archive/geography

A world choropleth of the probe fleet, built from the per-country breakdown in the daily archive summary.

Because it reads the archive rather than live RIPE data, this shows the fleet as of the last completed daily import — not this minute. That is the right basis for a distribution question, and the wrong one for "is this probe up".

Probe deployment

/graphs/probes-archive/deployment

Probe count over time, with multi-select filters on country, region, status and ASN. The series can be shown as an absolute count or as net, churn or new — which is the choice that decides what question you are asking:

• Count — how big is the fleet
• New — how many arrived
• Churn — how much movement there was, in both directions
• Net — did it grow or shrink

A flat count with high churn is a fleet treading water, and only the net/churn pair shows it.

AS population trends

/graphs/as-population

Aggregate charts over APNIC's per-day AS population estimates — how many users sit behind each network, over time.

Read this alongside AS population gaps: population is the denominator in the "users per probe" ranking, so a network whose population is growing while its probe count is flat is quietly becoming a bigger gap.

Events

/events

The event stream as a bar chart over a time window.

Window presets go up to 24 hours. That is not an oversight — the server caps how far back this endpoint will look, so longer windows are deliberately not offered. If you need more history, use the explicit start/stop inputs, or move to Trends, which is built for long windows.

Bucket size controls the bar width. Left on auto it picks the smallest bucket that keeps the chart legible rather than the smallest bucket available — 1,440 one-minute bars across 24 hours is technically correct and completely unreadable. Set it manually when you need a specific resolution.
