Nice one Esben.

I've set up a dashboard displaying information about my WSUS servers (I have 40 of them )

1. Showing all WSUS servers and the available disk space where the WSUS content is stored (used a custom field where I manually enter the disk drive for the WSUS content)

2. Report showing all WSUS Server WSUS events

Select Top 1000000 tblAssets.AssetID,
  tblAssets.AssetName,
  Coalesce(tsysOS.Image, tsysAssetTypes.AssetTypeIcon10) As icon,
  tsysOS.OSname As OS,
  tblNtlog.TimeGenerated,
  tblNtlogSource.Sourcename,
  tblNtlogMessage.Message
From tblAssets
  Inner Join tblAssetCustom On tblAssets.AssetID = tblAssetCustom.AssetID
  Inner Join tsysAssetTypes On tsysAssetTypes.AssetType = tblAssets.Assettype
  Inner Join tsysIPLocations On tsysIPLocations.LocationID =
    tblAssets.LocationID
  Inner Join tblState On tblState.State = tblAssetCustom.State
  Inner Join tblNtlog On tblNtlog.AssetID = tblAssets.AssetID
  Inner Join tblNtlogMessage On tblNtlogMessage.MessageID = tblNtlog.MessageID
  Inner Join tblNtlogSource On tblNtlogSource.SourcenameID =
    tblNtlog.SourcenameID
  Inner Join tblNtlogUser On tblNtlogUser.LoguserID = tblNtlog.LoguserID
  Inner Join tblNtlogFile On tblNtlogFile.LogfileID = tblNtlog.LogfileID
  Left Join tsysOS On tsysOS.OScode = tblAssets.OScode
Where tblNtlog.TimeGenerated > GetDate() - 7 And tblNtlogSource.Sourcename Like
  '%windows server update services%' And Case tblNtlog.Eventtype
    When 1 Then 'Error'
    When 2 Then 'Warning'
    When 3 Then 'Information'
    When 4 Then 'Security Audit Success'
    When 5 Then 'Security Audit Failure'
  End = 'Error' And tblState.Statename = 'Active'
Order By tblNtlog.TimeGenerated Desc,
  tblAssets.Domain
