[Change tag name/path, keep history](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/change-tag-name-path-keep-history/16323). in sqlth\_te table, I changed the path of the old tag to reflect the new path. I also changed the retired timestamp to (NULL). At this point, I could see all my old data. However, ignition was not logging new data. I then used the gateway command utlity gwcmd.bat -r to restart the gateway. All is now working. I hope this helps someone! --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/recover-tag-data-history/31268)._
