Build and manage PI SNMP points

Note: This tool is no longer included with PI Server. For new PI Server installations, if you want to use this tool, you need to download and install this interface separately.

Use the SNMP tool to build and manage points for the PI SNMP Interface. PI SNMP points enable you to monitor IT resources.

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a generic protocol used to make requests between an SNMP manager and the SNMP agent, or remote device. In the case of AVEVA PI System, the PI SNMP Interface is the SNMP manager.

When you use the PI SNMP utility to associate PI Points with SNMP variables or Object Identifiers (OIDs), you can use PI SNMP points to gain important insights into network management challenges such as port traffic, system uptimes, and environmental statistics.

To open the PI SNMP tool, select IT Points > SNMP in the System Management Tools pane.

PI SNMP points support SNMP versions 1, 2c, and 3, excluding SHA decoding.
