Cloud Monitoring Console - Rebuild forwarder assets

When going to CMC -> Forwarders -> Forwarders: deployment, I see that we have 19k+ forwarders, which is completely inaccurate. We have more like 900. It shows 18k+ as missing, and the list has instances decommissioned years ago. 

I thought I could fix this by telling it to rebuild the forwarder assets via the button under VMC -> Forwarders -> Forwarder monitor setup, but when I click on this, it processes for about a minute, and then nothing changes.

The description makes me think it is supposed to clear out the sim_forwarder_assets.csv lookup and rebuild it using only data it sees within the time frame I selected (24 hours). If I open up the lookup, all the entries it had previously are still there. 

Am I misunderstanding how this works, or is something broken?
