Q: How can I verify my node’s current probability setting and registration status?

A: Use the M-Lab Locate Service API to check your node’s status:

https://locate.measurementlab.net/v2/siteinfo/registrations?org=YOUR_ORG_NAME

Replace YOUR_ORG_NAME with your organization name. This will show:

  • Current probability percentage (0.0 to 1.0)
  • Registration status
  • Server details and locations
  • Whether your node is actively serving traffic

Remember that probability changes require restarting your Docker Compose stack to take effect.
