We are running an Edge Gateway, and i have created several tags to show history. When I go to set a binding on the tag, they are not showing up in the Historical Providers folder. I have stopped and started the Historian Module on the Gateway and stopped and restarted the gateway also. Any suggestions on what to look at? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/1/3/1305d36c5c2775b5bdfb393d09212810a67d84ed.png) ---

Did you actually setup the tag history correctly? Do you see any errors in the log? ---

Pretty certain they are setup correctly, history is set to true and pointed to the Edge Historian for the provider. The log does show an error of null,Uncertain\_InitialValue. Would this keep the tag from showing up when trying to browse to it? ---

Have you tried accessing through the realtime provider? ---

I am able to see them in the realtime provider, so I was wondering if there was something happening with the historian provider. If I bind the tag using realtime, does that allow to see the historical value. I am trying to bind to a Time Series Chart ---

I'm not seeing any values in my dataset. Does this means there is something going on with the Historian itself? ---

Likely. Any chance you have a time zone problem? Or a PLC clock not set properly? (When using a PLC's OPC server...)
