[atlas] mesures prices

Hello,

we tried to build some monitoring with the Atlas ripe network but we were blocked because of the measure's prices.

Our goal is to ping an IP address every 5 minutes, with 3 packets from 3 countries in EU.

The UI of Atlas give theses cost :
#########################################

One-off mesure :
Costs

    PER PROBE
    6 credits for each result of a single probe
    6 credits per day per probe

    FOR ALL PROBES
    18 credits for 3 probes in total

#########################################
5 min interval mesure :
Costs

    PER PROBE
    3 credits for each result of a single probe
    864 credits per day per probe

    FOR ALL PROBES
    2592 credits for 3 probes in total per day

#########################################



We have 3 Atlas probes, connected 24/24, 7/7, theses probes provide us 34 944 credits / day.


With theses credits we do :

  *   6 One-off mesures, done every 5 mins
  *   13 Regular mesures, 5 min interval


We were surprised at how few measures we could afford we 3 Atlas probes.

Are we missing something ?
Perhaps we are miss understanding what is Atlas for.

Regards.
