Reporting Incomplete

I am experiencing an issue with reports that previously (last quarter) ran successfully and returned the correct information. Now, when I run the same reports I am getting partial data.

One report should return information on each host in my WSUS server, but only returns about half of the hosts:

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Do you have scheduled inventories of your wsus server and all the computers? I find that inventory gaps are the main cause of missing report data

I have 37 WSUS replica servers that all have associated inventory tasks. I don't have inventory tasks for the computer groups. Is there a KB article that shows what needs to be set up for that?

One of the things I had struggled with in PM was realizing there were so many different types of jobs that you set up and it was easy for them to slip through the cracks. It is a pain but PM is really the kind of product that you need to start by reading the MS WSUS admin guide, then once you are fully versed in that then you read the PM admin guide to understand what it adds that is not already built into WSUS, then you can use the tool to its fullest. It was a painful experience for me because I was a network admin before my SW days and swore to myself that I would never need to learn all that stuff haha.

I think there are deeper issues with my Solarwinds instance. All inventory tasks have run, but the reports are incorrect still.
