Overview

M-Lab publishes its data in two different forms:

• Google Cloud Storage (raw files)
  • M-Lab publishes raw output from its measurement tools on Google Cloud Storage as file archives.
  • See the M-Lab Google Cloud Storage documentation for more information.
• Google BigQuery (SQL queryable)
  • M-Lab parses data for a subset of its tools and publishes the data on BigQuery, so that users can run SQL queries over the data.
  • See the M-Lab BigQuery QuickStart for more information.

There is typically at least a 24-hour delay between data collection and data publication.
