Hello,

I'm trying to generate metrics on the monthly update installation rate. It seems all the information is in the "hostwsus" table, but the "install_date" field is always empty.

Any idea why this information isn't being added to the table?

Thanks!
Theo

Hi Théo,
it's probably a column retrieved from the local WUA database at the workstation, which isn't always very reliable for long-term data retention. That said, the WAPT agent can retain this information. I'll submit an internal ticket about this.
