    Hello all. I would suggest you consider a different approach to get the count. In order to help users prevent line outages, they need more than a count. Suggest you make an event frame for each outage. Load that dude up with all relevant data and instructions for an investigation of an outage of this prod line. Publish event frame reports using PI Notifications and your favorite BI tools. Create a churn of employees commenting on the event frames. You can use just about any reporting tool to count the event frames. plus you have richer data alongside to include in your work. For example: "How many line outages did I have when it was raining". or "What was the avg length of our outages this year against last year", what does the temperature profile or pattern, was it the same"

    Steve, your suggestion is on point - counting with event frames would be the perfect solution. EXCEPT for the fact that you need to go outside the PI System to get the count of event frames, which has been a short coming of this approach since the beginning.

    Customers have a need to see these statistics inside the PI System, so for that reason I always create an event indicator using formulas or expression analyses, and then I can use that to:

    • Count the number of events using the above mentioned approaches
    • Trigger an Event Frame

     

    To make life easier for my customers, I have created a prototype for a custom data reference called EventFrame Statistics, which uses the AF SDK to provide the most common statistics needed - directly in PI System Explorer.
