(Version 2.0) Telemetry data published is not shown in "lastest telemetry" - thingsboard

Question

I'm publishing telemetry data using MQTT.fx (everything is correct from this side) but I don't see it in the "lastest telemetry" tab in the device I created in Thingsboard. At first, I guessed I should create a rule in order to save the telemetry data, but it didn't work when I imported one the examples I found in the documentation (Here).
By the way, Windows firewall is off.
Finally I checked the log file and found the following lines (does it mean the messages are indeed getting to Thingsboard service?):

I'm adding the audit log it shows when I try to set a rule chain as the root rule chain:

Answer 1

Don’t forget to mark new rule chain as "root".
I created a new tenant and a new tenant administrator. After that I found there was no root rule chain in that tenant default setting.I guess if there was not root chain configured, thingsboard will do nothing. In the document of Rule Engine , it always stresses "mark new rule chain as root".
May it help.

Answer 2

I have the same problem when i try to make rule chain become root. but i solved it with export the json rule chain code
change the "root" from false to true1
the you should go to rule chain page and import from the json file that you edited before. it works for me. wish it will help you too
