Add data sources to the connector

Add data sources for data collection from the PI Connector Administration Site page.

1. From the Overview window, either select the Add or modify data sources link found under Data Sources in the right pane, or select the Data Source List link in the left pane. Either link opens the Data Source List window.

2. To add a new data source, enter the name in the Data source name field, and then select Add and configure.

   Note: All Data source name values for the connector must be unique.

   Configurations are not case-sensitive. For example, DataSource1 and DATASOURCE1 are considered the same.

   The configuration window opens.
