Assuming you're talking about Perspective, client tags don't exist. They are a Vision only thing.

I didn't see this problem myself, but _props.name_ needs to match the journal name.

Just to expand on @JordanCClark’s solution, Client Tags are very much a Vision concept and do not exist in Perspective. While in the Perspective context, you should be using the available `session` properties. We provide you with many of these properties which define the gateway and client is use to start, but if you have a Client tag you’ve made yourself for a Vision project, you would need to add a custom session property.

As for why you can’t find the alarms, you needs to set up the Alarm Journal Table to point to the Alarm Journal in use. set `AlarmJournal.props.name` to the name of the Alarm Journal which is linked to the data source your tag history is stored in.
