Learn about AF structure for PI Connector Ping data

The PI Connector for Ping will create a hierarchical asset model of the end points including meta data and time series data references. You can view the PI Asset Framework elements and attributes for PI Connector for Ping using PI System Explorer.

There are three levels to the asset hierarchy: Data Source -> Hostname -> IP Address.

Data Quality

Each ping request includes a status value. If a ping response is successfully returned, the status will be "Success". In the event that the ping request fails, a status will be written to indicate the root cause.

Example 1: Ping timeout with status.

When the connector determines that an IP address is not reachable, it updates IP statuses to Comm Fail.
