I’m attempting my first tag historian report. Using MQTT Distributor and Engine. - Dragging historical tag from tag browser to Available Historical Tags is disallowed. - Data is in the database and is accurate so I know the historian is working. - Following videos on how to perform Tag Historian Query have the Available Historical Tags already populated. I don’t understand why my available historical tags are not appearing. - My “InsightMySQL” database is listed, but no tags appear in the tree under this connection. - The “Sample\_SQLite\_Database” has tags listed under it. - Any help would be most appreciated. ![image](https://yyz2.discourse-cdn.com/flex028/images/transparent.png) ---

Leland, I’d suggest taking a look at this page that describes caveats of setting up history on MQTT tags: [https://docs.chariot.io/display/CLD80/MQTT+History](https://docs.chariot.io/display/CLD80/MQTT+History) Regards, Wes
