I have 3 influx machines with me.  
Two in Linux1, Linux2  
and other in Mac

**Step 1**  
Created a new\_measurement for an existing database for both machine using insert operation,  
–\> insert new\_msr,tag1=tagOne,tag2=tagTwo field1=‘fieldOne’ field2=‘fieldTwo’

**Step 2**  
After that select statement in both, showed the record correctly in all machines

**Step 3**  
**Show field keys from existing\_db** shows, field1 and field2 as fields correctly in all machines

**Step 4**  
**Show tag keys from existing\_db** showed,  
–\> **tag1 and tag2** in 2 machines Linux1 and mac  
–\> **Empty (showed nothing)** in Linux2

What might be the problem in Linux2 machine??

NOTE: All the influxdb.conf is same
