PI Batch Generator (PIBaGen) |
Collects data from Data Archive, generates batch data, and writes the batch data to the PI Batch Database. PIBaGen is used when there is no native interface to generate and store batch data in the PI System. Run PIBaGen directly on the Data Archive server. |
pipc\Interfaces\PIBaGen |
|
PerfMon |
Reads Windows performance counters and stores the values in PI points. |
pipc\Interfaces\PIPerfMon_Basic |
|
PI Interface Status interface |
A utility that determines whether an interface program is writing new values to its points. Periodically checks whether a particular PI point, known as the watchdog tag, is receiving new values. |
pipc\Interfaces\PIIntStatus |
|
Ping |
Monitors the network availability of computer systems by pinging them and stores the response times in PI points. |
pipc\Interfaces\PING_Basic |
|
Random and Ramp Soak |
Two simulator interfaces that can simulate random, sinusoidal, and batch data. You can run them remotely or directly on the Data Archive server. |
pipc\Interfaces\Random pipc\Interfaces\rmp_sk |
|
SNMP |
Collects performance data from computer systems and network routers using the Simple Network Management Protocol, and stores the values in PI points. |
