What is the Reporting Devices chart?

The Reporting Devices chart, from the VHQ Dashboard, displays information about devices that have communicated with the VHQ server during the past seven days by sending heartbeat messages. If a device fails to communicate with the VHQ server during the past seven days, the status message No Devices found is displayed.

The No Devices found status message is displayed when VHQ is unable to fetch data from the VHQ server.

Hover over any section of a bar in the chart to display the number of devices reported to the VHQ server.

Multiple heartbeat messages sent by a device in a given day are counted as one device in the chart for that day.

The frequency at which the VHQ Agent sends heartbeat messages is configured in the VHQ Agent. If the VHQ Agent on a device fails to send at least one heartbeat message in a 24-hour period, the VHQ server generates a Device Missing alert for that device.
