Hi there! Hoping someone could help me navigate this issue. I have created a simple webvi to graph some sensor values saved as tags (doubles) using the "Read Tag Hisory" function on SystemLink cloud. When I am testing it on GWeb with API Keys, everything works fine and I get a nice plot of my sensor values. However, when I go to deploy this webvi to SystemLink cloud and remove the configurations (set to Auto), "Read Tag History" doesn't return any values and my graphs remain empty. I've tried to debug in a few ways: Indicator arrays from "Read Tag History" are all greyed out and show zero I can receive other double or string type tags using the "Read Tag" vi. When I replace "Read Tag History" with "Read Tag" it works to return a single value I've tried to allow all permissions for this uploaded WebVI this didn't work Uploaded the WebVI with the API keys embedded with read only permissions (I know this is bad practice but just wanted to see), and this worked as expected It seems the "Read Tag History" function only works in my case when there is an API key attached but am I doing something wrong? Is there a workaround to this? Greatly appreciate any help here! Thanks, Ray

Read Tag History does not work without API key
