    Improve PI Analysis Service Performance for Non-Templatized Analyses

    Instead of putting all non-templatized analyses in one group for evaluation, the PI Analysis Service should divide them up automatically according to some criteria. The goals would be: 1) Eliminate the need for many "one-off" templates that cause ...

    Improve Scalability of PI Analytics

    Currently you can only run a single PI Analytics instance at a time. We have two VMs running PI Analytics in a failover situation, but this means that one of the VMs is sitting idle 99% of the time. We are starting to hit the limits of scaling w...

    Support non-English Performance counter for PI PerfMon Interface

    PI Interface for Performance Monitor can collect data from non-English Performance counters in version 1.x, but cannot in version 2.x. It would be good if version 2.x is also able to collect data from non-English Performance counters.

    Make a GUI for PI Backups for easy management

    It would be interesting to have a GUI, maybe inside PI SMT, that would allow users to configure their PIBackups directly without having to mess around in 2-3 batch files. Checkboxes for the most common options, Active/inactive box etc. You could...

    Automated re-compression/average after a period of time

    As a PI Administrator, currently there is no way to compress or average (then delete) your data automatically after an event reaches a certain age. It would be nice to have the ability to automatically compress or average specific tags after the e...
