Generic Data Interval (PI_GENI)
Function
The Generic Data Interval (PI_GENI) is a user record that stores user-defined performance data per unit time. Because this record can store only specified performance data rather than all performance data for the collection target object, its use can reduce overhead and disk usage.
Depending on the performance data type, data is stored in one of the following two fields:
This is a multi-instance record.
Default values and values that can be specified
Item | Default value | Modifiable |
---|---|---|
Collection Interval | 60 | Yes |
Collection Offset# | 0 | Yes |
Log | No | Yes |
LOGIF | Blank | Yes |
ODBC key fields
Lifetime
After the record is added by the collection data addition utility until the record is deleted.
