Black water tank

At the last campground I attempted to empty my black water tank. Howewver, I was only able to drain down to 1/2 of the level according to the inside tank monitor. Any idea what the problem is and how to drain the entire tank?
Thanks

    Agree to all, in my passport where I push on the check switch also makes a difference. I normally keep a hand on the hose to make sure it's done emptying....

    Sensors are probably dirty. I gave up on my sensors. I look down the hole with a flashlight to see the black tank level.

    The problem is most likely the monitor. They rarely work.
