Someone asked a very similar question under Discussion 3109241. I would take a look there first and see if that helps.

I have checked this discussion which generates only generates inventory, doesn't show Last patch update and rebooted

Unfortunately Satellite 6 really lacks any type of built in, useful reports that you could hand over to Managers or Information Security types such as what you are talking about. There are other products that CAN provide some of this detail, but really I think these types of reports should be IN Satellite as its distributed.

BUT, they can be written .. There are countless permutations of hammer scripting and API scripting you can do to generate these reports. We generate similar reports during each patching cycle. These reports show pending errata application, historical errata application, statistics, etc. The best answer is to invest some time in learning to work with the API and hammer to get the reports you want.
