Many calls that we get here on the Operations Manager support team involve blank or empty reports so I wanted to be sure everyone knew about the KB article we have that will help walk you through troubleshooting some of the more common causes of reporting issues.

3. There is a functional problem with the Health Service on the agent.
4. Management servers are unable to insert data into the OperationsManagerDW database.
