      • 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?

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