Include Windows Counters/OMF Health for Message Log Event Rate

Having metrics that count the number of messages being written to the message log, and categorized by severity, gives a great dashboard overview of the status of PI data archive. For example, having a events/min count of error messages historized ...

Add point Type INT64, UINT64, to PI Archive

Some interfaces such as PI Modbus allow the polling of a 64-bit signed integer value or a 64-bit unsigned integer value. Yet the database does not allow you to store these values in their native formats. You must store them as a 64-bit floating po...

Make it easier to get a list of buffered or unbuffered points on the PI Data Archive

For PI System Administrators, it would be nice to be able to easily get a list of all buffered or unbuffered points on the PI Data Archive. Currently, a list of buffered points is possible to retrieve using 'piartool -bfs -ptlist', but a comprehe...
