At some point my historical data was logging to our Ignition server and now it appears to logging to the Internal Historian. How do I point it back to at our server? Both are running. If I stop the Internal Historian I get errors.

The reason I think it was logging to the server is it created tables up until June

Each tag that is historized has a storage provider property. Point them all at the database.

Don't forget that you can select multiple tags (with the clock icon), right-click, Edit Tag(s) and set common properties such as the storage provider all in one go.
