I assume the VAL field is a default archived field even though its not listed here?  I did also notice that the details shows the events counter lost incrementing shown below at 689.  I must not have a setting correctly in the record for it to not archive.

caLab:dmm AI record
Archive Fields	HIHI,HIGH,LOW,LOLO,LOPR,HOPR
How many events lost because the timestamp is in the far future or past so far?	689
Timestamp of last event from the IOC - correct or not.	Dec/01/2020 15:27:22 -08:00
How many events lost because the sample buffer is full so far?	0
How many events lost because the DBR_Type of the PV has changed from what it used to be?	0
How many events lost totally so far?	689

I looked at another PV that I have running locally that is being archived correctly and stored but this is an AO record
Calc:a
Archive Fields	DRVH,HIHI,HIGH,DRVL,LOW,LOLO,LOPR,HOPR

It does show the details from the record for caLab:dmm shown below, which seems like its able to read from it. Settings for archiver appliance.xml below and also the archappl.conf environment variables set for the subnet to be seen.  I am able to also use caget through cmdline to get values from caLab:dmm and CSStudio is able to monitor them but the archiver doesn't seem to be actually saving the data.

The info you paste below seems contradictory.  The summary table shows "caLab:dmm" as connected, but the details table shows a disconnected PV.

You mention caget.  Does camonitor work?  eg.

> $ camonitor caLab:dmm caLab:dmm.HIHI

Note the extra "Archive Fields" listed in the details table (eg. HIHI) also need to exist.
