Hi Saurabh,
Could you please share the reason why you need to consolidate the whole universe? To do so, we first have to subscribe every equity with at least minute level resolution, then create a 5-min consolidator for each of them. The whole algorithm would be painfully slow. Unless you really need a 5-min bar for every ticker, I wouldn't recommand it.
Here is my attempt of implementation. We have a documentation page about usage of data consolidator. Hope you could find the best way to implement your strategy.
