      • https://lf-o-ran-sc.atlassian.net/browse/NONRTRIC-1047

      • https://lf-o-ran-sc.atlassian.net/browse/INT-161

      • Related to https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/c/nonrtric/plt/ranpm/+/13974 from @Sridhar Rao ?

      • Don't think a new repo is needed. Will try incorporate changes into existing functionality.

      • Since datafilecollector can run multiple instances, should be okay to have multiple formats for different instance. Controlled by a config option?

    • @Alex Stancu & @Sridhar Rao still comparing notes, and @Aravindhan Ayyanathan & @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) examining Sridhar's PR (above) to try merge it into NONRTRIC RANPM.

    • Email from @Sridhar Rao about issue startingRANPM docker-setup  charts due to a version problem with OPA.

      • Leads to topic creation failure due to un-authorized.

      • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) will investigate further & create a ticket if needed.

      • @Sridhar Rao suggests pinning OPA version to  0.70.0-envoy-12 

• @Aravindhan Ayyanathan working on integrating @Sridhar Rao & @Alex Stancu PM file & ves collector format.

  • Will work on this for this release - but unfortunately will not be ready before F2F

• @guru raja Is there an Anomaly detection rApp

  • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) No. But we do have an example of a hello-world like ML rApp at the Montreal F2F

  • Also an Anomaly Detection xApp. But use case, training data, deployment etc is different.

  • Suggest chat with @subhash about a possible ML model for an rApp
