Until the other day when I had to power cycle it, things were working fine.

Then after booting the `chart` node/s are not _working_.

Where as before I got the time line along the bottom.

Now I am not seeing it. It is _stuck_ at `0:0` time.

To check I looked at another machine - same code - and it works.

Messages going into it are these:

No timestamps visible.  
But it is working - as per above picture.

The machine in question shows me this:  
(Oh, on **ALL** charts)  
But this one to show same.

And asking the machine for the time/date I see this:

```auto
date
Mon 4 Oct 09:46:12 AEDT 2021

```

Which is the time.

Gremlins?

# Update:

One of the **Other** machines has since been rebooted.  
It's _chart_ is now showing a time line.

The third (remote) machine isn't.  
and THIS machine isn't showing it's own timeline.

But ALL OTHER `chart` nodes are also **NOT** showing the time.

I've looked at the messages going to the nodes.  
Other than `msg.id` they are all the same.  
(Oh and the device names - of course - are different/unique to each thing they are showing.)

After a lot of _Bashing head against wall_ I seem to have fixed it.

Sorry folks.

All I needed to do was send a `msg.payload = [] ` to the chart and wipe it.  
That seemed to fix it.
