[atlas] Using Atlas for Monitoring of Anycast DNS

Hello!

I want to restart this old thread and ask for available tools.

For our Anycast DNS cloud, I want to measure the "performance", ie the
RTT from Atlas probes.

1. Create measurements (I can do that already ;-)

2. Analyze this measurements:
- fetch measurement
- analyze the probe locations (ie. country, continent)
- create reports with average RTT from certain countries and continents

This second step I have partly in old scripts using influxdb and grafana
dashboard - but that was a proof of concept with bad code.

So, before starting coding from the base - are there some available
scripts which can do the second part?

Is https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/ripe.atlas.sagan still the way to go for
measurement processing or are there meanwhile some better/smarter
libraries? ie something for php?

Thanks
Klaus
