Do you have any custom processes configured that could delete computer data out of the inventory database?
There is built-in functionality that can delete computer records from the inventory database that have not reported data for some period of time, but if the computer has reported data recently then that functionality shouldn't cause what you are seeing here.

You may see some traces of inventory device (dbo.ComplianceComputer) records being deleted by looking in the ComplianceHistory view in the compliance database.
For example:
SELECT TOP 1000 *
FROM dbo.ComplianceHistory ch
WHERE ch.ComplianceComputerID IS NOT NULL
AND NOT EXISTS(SELECT * FROM dbo.ComplianceComputer cc WHERE cc.ComplianceComputerID = ch.ComplianceComputerID)
ORDER BY ch.HistoryDate DeSC

The row with ComplianceHistoryTypeID = 22 represents a record being deleted.
You could check the specific timestamp in the HistoryDate column, and match that up to a timestamp in inventory import logs to see the specific step/action that is being performed by the inventory import at the time of the deletion.

Wondering is this device still present in AD? as I believe if a device is part of AD and if it got deleted from AD then it will be removed from FNMS as well. @ChrisG please correct me if I am wrong.
@durgeshsingh The out of the box AD import on the beacon imports users, computers, and subnets. The computers that are imported through this integration are not displayed in the WebUI like the users and subnets, but they are stored in the Inventory Database. Like @FarrukhNaz mentioned you might check AD to ensure that device is still present.
