Learn about health monitoring points

The heartbeat point value is a cycle of integers from 1 to 15, updated according to the frequency defined by the /scan command-line parameter or every minute, whichever is less. The device status point is a string reflecting the interface status as follows:

• Good: The interface is communicating properly with the PI Server and the AF Server.

• 1 | Starting: The interface is initializing.

• 4 | Shutdown: The interface is shutting down.

Location1 contains the interface instance ID, and the point source is the value you specify when configuring the interface instance (/PS flag).

The following table lists essential attributes of the health monitoring points.
