If you’ve added a new tag to an existing data source, but it’s not showing up in TrendMiner, it’s likely because the automated connector sync only happens every 24 hours.
Why Tags May Not Appear Immediately
TrendMiner refreshes the data source tag cache every 24h from the moment the data source was added, the connector was last manually synced, or the tm-datasource service was restarted. This means that updates to the list of available tags and their metadata (name, description, units and tag type) can take up to a day to take hold organically.
Need the tag right away?
You can manually refresh the tag cache to make the new tag available immediately:
- Navigate to ConfigHub > Data Sources.
- Select the data source where the new tag was added.
- Click Refresh Tag Cache to pull in the latest tags.
Alternatively, you can also sync the connector to ensure the data source is fully synchronized with TrendMiner.
This way, your new tag will be available without waiting for the next scheduled sync.
