      • Looking into developing config editor
      • Possibilities:
        • GUI similar technology to run control

      • Some tools ported by John available from ATLAS
      • OKS Qt GUI is quite well factorised into 

      Discussion:

      • Need careful coordination with existing (continuing) development of tools for configuration editor
      • Pursue on two fronts: continue understanding how the current tools work and document possible improvements

      Round table: monitoring
      Speaker: Marco Roda (University of Liverpool)

      Marco:

      • Grafana-dashboard tagged for v4.4.4, new development area for v4.4.5 already created
        • For v4.4.5 we expect at least changes in the PDS dashboard following restructuring of the configurations of the Daphne Controllers
           
      • New opmon level logic implemented in for the v5 monitoring
      • Code merged and tagged (opmonlib, kafkaopmon). Code available for v5.1.0 but with no implications for the rest of the code
      • There is a draft for the new opmon microservice, PRs in microservice and daq-kube. An initial image is already created. Pat and John already had a look, things seem reasonable.
        • We will wait util the end of the beam next week and then we will attempt to deploy the microservice. If it goes well, it will stay there to allow the development of the rest of the infrastructure. 
      • There will be need to have a command to set the opmon level at the application level. This makes sense to happen after the full transition takes place. It can be considered as the 5th activity related to this transition.
