From my understanding, Ignition Edge has an internal storage provider built in, which can used to store a limited amounts of data. However, when setting up tag history on a tag, the storage provider is not shown... ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/f/0f1a8a894e8167e65f28ca611f90d59c2e84fcc1.png) I've also tried to manually type in the Historian Name (Edge Historian, by default) or the tag provider. Regardless, I cannot any get any data using `system.tag.queryTagHistory`, or find the history of the tag using a PowerChart component in perspective. I have also setup the tag group with the appropriate history settings. Am I missing something? I also saw that this page exists on how configure the internal storage provider in Ignition 8.0, but that page does not exists in Ignition 8.1 [Tag History Gateway Settings - Ignition User Manual 8.0 - Ignition Documentation](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/Tag+History+Gateway+Settings) ---

On the Gateway, Go to Config -\> Gateway Settings -\> Historian Name Yours might be blank. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/2/0/2031470511233bdc5f98cdde9f1ff233e45f6c07.png) Unfortunately, there isn't a manual specifically tailored to Edge and some things are a bit different. ---

That wasn't it, but restarted the tag historian module and it showed up
