      <p style="margin: 1.2em 0px ! important;">In the context of your
        research, you could view “failed” and “no suitable probes” as
        finished, but here is a complete list of possible measurement
        statuses:</p>
      <ul style="margin: 1.2em 0px;padding-left: 2em;">
        <li style="margin: 0.5em 0px;"><strong>Specified</strong>: the
          measurement has been defined and sent to our infrastructure to
          be relayed to the probes.</li>
        <li style="margin: 0.5em 0px;"><strong>Scheduled</strong>: The
          measurement has been relayed to the probes. If the start time
          is immediate, this status doesn’t last very long.</li>
        <li style="margin: 0.5em 0px;"><strong>Ongoing</strong>: The
          measurement is running on available probes.</li>
        <li style="margin: 0.5em 0px;"><strong>Stopped</strong>: The
          measurement was stopped either on schedule, by the user
          requesting an early stop.</li>
        <li style="margin: 0.5em 0px;"><strong>Forced to Stop</strong>:
          The measurement was killed prematurely due to a lack of
          available credits.</li>
        <li style="margin: 0.5em 0px;"><strong>No suitable probes</strong>:
          The measurement cannot currently be executed as defined due to
          a lack of available probes. This may be because you asked to
          use probes that don’t exist (for example, probes in an AS in
          which there are no probes) or because all of the probes you
          requested were too busy to take on new jobs. This latter
          scenario is very rare however.</li>
        <li style="margin: 0.5em 0px;"><strong>Failed</strong>: If a
          probe never actually runs a single measurement over the
          duration of the specified start/stop time (typically due to a
          lack of available probes), it will be marked as <code style="font-family: Consolas,Inconsolata,Courier,monospace;margin: 0px 0.15em; padding: 0px 0.3em; white-space: pre-wrap; border: 1px solid rgb(234, 234, 234); background-color: rgb(248, 248, 248); border-radius: 3px; display: inline;">Failed</code>
