v_ClientHealthState is empty table

So here's my situation. I'm trying to implement dashboard reporting as outlined in these blogs http://blogs.msdn.com/b/shitanshu/archive/2010/04/08/part-1-how-microsoft-it-using-configuration-manager-dashboard.aspx

 

Some of the reports rely on v_ClientHealthSate (dbo.ClientHealthState table in my database SMS_XXX). This table is empty... and I have no idea why. I installed CSR (Client Status Reporting) and those tables populate fine (i.e. v_CH_ClientSummary, v_CH_ClientSummaryHistory, etc..)

 

When I try to run the Microsoft examples from here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd314132.aspx I get no results (because of the empty v_ClientHealthStatus table).

 

So... long story short... What am I missing in my SCCM installation that populates that table? Anyone point me in the right direction to start troubleshooting?

 

 

Thanks in advance,

Jim

So... to answer my own question. One needs to setup and configure the Fallback Status Point. That is what populates ClientHealthSate.
