perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Phil Reese <>]

Hi PS folks,

I've hit my wall on trying to use PS5 and would appreciate some help 
getting over the hump.

My project goal is to move from a 30x30 Maddash Grid in PS4 to the same 
looking Maddash grid using PS5 and its associated goodness.

I want to stay with the Maddash grid UI due to some tools that have been 
developed.  They take snapshots of the screen on a 5min basis and then 
combine all of these images into a movie covering 24hr and then archived 
to disk.  All of this has worked smoothly in PS4 for more than 4 years.

I've gone through the new PS5 docs numerous times and watched Andy's 
YouTube talk 3+ times.

I think I can see how things should work, but I've been unable to make 
them work.

I'm confident I can continue pushing the data to the PS4 process AND to 
a PS5 opensearch archive.

The issue is the last step, having Maddash use the opensearch data.

I can see progress in one of two ways.

Someone on the PS team could put together a step by step guide to using 
Maddash Grids with PS5.  This could be similar to the one developed by 
Andy some time ago, MaDDash Quick Install Guide v4, 6/2021.  Developing 
this would discover the issues I'm banging my toes into, and could be 
resolved for all to benefit.

I'm also willing to detail the steps and trials I've done, probably off 
line, to iteratively get to a working solution.

I'm just firmly stuck!

I'm appreciative of any help from the community or the PS team to get 
things moving again.

Phil
