I'm testing a PI Performance monitor point that I have just created for the System uptime. I can see the Value updating in the build tag tab of Performance monitor points section and once I click 'Create tag' I can find the tag in the current values section, however the value now reads 'PT Created'.
Why dont I see the tag value change? I have compared this new point with a working point on another PI server and all configurations in the point builder match. Still cant get my new point to update.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

PI Interface Startup

Had you had other perfmon tags working I would have asked you to check the %Program Files%\PIPC\Dat\PIPC.log file for messages. In this case however we'd have soon realised that we didn't have a PIPerfmon interface running.
It's a good idea to have your Perfmon interface starting up automatically when the system reboots. Also, add your "net start" and "net stop" to the pisrvsitestart and pisrvsitestop batch files in %PI%\adm so that the interface is started and stopped with the PI system.
