I would use reportMissingData

Agreed, report feels clearer as the verb "record" is more about permanent storage and later reference.

Or even just reportMissing? Depending on what's happening around call sites, I often find I can drop generic stuff like "Data" and it's just as clear, especially when looking at a function signature. For instance:

func reportMissing(data) { ... }
