It seems like they are asking questions related to the "health" of the Jenkins installation, as opposed to the "health" of the jobs executed in Jenkins.
You might consider the Jenkins Monitoring plugin ( https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Monitoring) as a possible way to satisfy some of their requests. If they want regular reports of attributes not already available from the Jenkins Monitoring plugin, you could consider implementing some form of "health monitoring" for the specific attributes. At a previous employer, we had enough Jenkins servers (and other servers) that we configured a health monitoring system using an open source network health monitor. It watched our general purpose servers (source control, database, etc.) and also watched our Jenkins servers. We had to write a few scripts to gather relevant data which it was not already tracking, then we used the web interface of the health monitoring system to see historical reports and current issues / alarms.
