126 | | A central measurement archive configuration is more the desirable way of archiving. When your perfSONAR nodes are less powerful and when you want to archive data in multiple locations you can use this setup. In this example we have two or more perfSONAR nodes and a single archive host for storing data. |

| 130 | Archiving or storing measuring data is less use if they cannot be presented in effective and convenient way. The Monitoring and Debugging Dashboard (MaDDash) software is aimed at collecting and presenting two-dimensional monitoring data as a set of grids referred to as a dashboard. Many monitoring systems focus on one dimension, such as a single host or service. Unfortunately, users can quickly run into n-squared problems both in terms of configuration on the back-end and data presentation on the front-end if you try to present naturally two-dimensional data in this manner. |

| 132 | Measurement archives and MaDDash always work together. For demonstration of these two systems we will follow a single lab setup. In this example we have two or more perfSONAR nodes and a single archive host for storing data. |

| 134 | Step 1: Here we will use a central server for both as a central archiving host and to install the MaDDash as well. first we will install perfsonar-centralmanagement package which contains the MaDDash as well as other supporting packages like psconfig MadDash Agent. |
