Hello, guys,

I’m having a problem that I can’t solve.  
I have a setup like the one in the image, with machine 2 running a historian with postgresql.

I enable the tags historian, and for some connection error, the historian is disabled.

The important logs:

Any suggestions on how i can fix this?

To add more detail, both configuration in yellow are missed after one Gateway Network failed connection between Server 1 and Server 2.  
I need to open the project, edit the tag field configuration (in yellow) to historian works again.  
Anything else is unnecessary in the gateways, just in the project, after this, I can read the historian tags using a Power Chart.

Solved by using Reference Tags. The configuration is missed with the network fail, but using reference tags, the problem has been bypassed.
