The instrumenttag attribute configures the IP address or host name of the SNMP device that is the data source for an input point or the target of an output point.

Note: All PI Interface for SNMP tags must have a host defined in the instrumenttag attribute. The SNMP security file is not a global replacement for this configuration.

Specify the setting using the following format (note the semicolon terminator):

host=device[:port];
host=192.168.100.11;
host=router1;
host=192.168.100.11:5161;

Note: Setting the host=Device[:port] in instrumenttag overrides any setting made in the ICU or in the (obsolete) pisnmp.ini file.
