Devices Missing from Jamf Pro Inventory Search

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Issue Description

Device count is incorrect or blank search returns "no results found."

Troubleshooting Steps

Go through the questions below to troubleshoot:

  1. Are we looking at a specific Site and are the devices assigned to Sites at all?

    • If so, try logging in as an admin user and search under Full Jamf Pro

  2. Does the user have proper permissions to view inventory? Verify the user has at least "Advanced Computer Searches" and "Advanced Mobile Device Searches" > Read checked under Settings > System > User Accounts and Groups.

  3. Are "Computers" or "Mobile Devices" selected to the right of the search bar?

    • If this is set to another item such as Mobile Device Apps, it will not pull up devices as desired.

  4. Are there any unnecessary spaces or spelling errors in the search?

    • Try searching by Serial Number if looking for a specific device, or type * into the search bar to pull up all devices if the blank search is not working.

  5. Are there any inventory issues such as ghost records, duplicate device records, missing serial numbers, etc.?

Note: if we are able to view the devices in Search Inventory, but they do not populate in a Smart or Static Group then the device may be Unmanaged in which case the device would need to be re-enrolled or in the case of computers: navigate to the computer record, click Edit, and check Allow Jamf Pro to perform management tasks and click Save.
