Load data from UQ RDM to Dash? | Elliot

Is it possible for it to load data directly from UQ RDM to dash using some kind of security protocol?

Answers

  • Possibly? Might be tricky, need an API - ask RCC as they connect HPCs to RDM. They a weekly drop-in session called “Hacky Hour” https://uqz.zoom.us/j/84792230624, every Tuesday, 1 pm.

Any suggestions on exporting / publishing dashboards? | Steph
