I am facing an issue with historian timestamp for machine tags that I already defined it as historian tags. The timestamp is 9 days behind. Also, I can see tag value changes but not in historian side. what can be the root cause. screen shot has been attached.

~~The tag shown in your screen shot does not have History enabled and so would not record automatically to any history provider.~~ EDIT: OP changed original screen shot.

The timestamp you have highlighted has nothing to do with the historian system, afaik.

Are you recording this into a table on your own? How is it being stored? Are you using the store and forward system?

Okay, so now your tag does have history enabled, but you haven't addressed the other question?

Are you suing the store and forward system?

And, I'll say again, that the timestamp you have circled, has nothing to do with the historian system.

Additionally, have you insured that the time on the server/device where the gateway is running matches your local system? Have you insured that the time on the server/device running the database matches your local system?

Thank you Irose! the problem was server/device time.
