PI System Management Tools (PI SMT) plug-ins

PI System Management Tools setup kit includes several software packages, including the PI System Management Tools (PI SMT) application itself. The PI SMT includes dozens of single-purpose plug-ins for PI Server administration. 

PI SMT allows users access to multiple PI Servers at one time. Support of the various PI Server versions depends on the plug-in being used. If a feature provided by a plug-in is not supported on a particular PI Server version, the application will indicate that it is not supported. Each plug-in includes a Help file that indicates in it what PI Server versions it supports. For additional system requirements, see the PI System Management Tools System Requirements page.

The current version of PI SMT provides the following plug-ins (see below). The group in PI SMT under which the plug-in can be found is noted in parenthesis. For example, you can find the Archive plug-in under the Operations group.
