If you look at the screen, I put true in History Enabled, but why doesn't it appear in "Attachment 2"?

Please tell me the solution.

Were those alarms active in the last 8 hours? That's what your filter is currently set to. Can you also share a screenshot of your database connections?

Edit: And Alarm Journal\*

The 'History Enabled' you've turned to true is not for alarm history, that is [tag history](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Configuring+Tag+History). You should make sure you have an alarm journal setup in the gateway(Config\>Alarming\>Journal). Then in Perpsective you'll need to make sure you [alarm journal's name property](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Perspective+-+Alarm+Journal+Table?gclid=CjwKCAjwysipBhBXEiwApJOcuxDM_39sl6E8Z1FrmLeRynXAC76dJhUqv3OsNHdkZEksxeP68deL0RoCtRMQAvD_BwE#PerspectiveAlarmJournalTable-Properties) is exactly as defined in the gateway.
