What it does
How many days the full asset metadata is kept, in Log Analytics and in the Pro database.
When set
The run sets the retention of SI_AssetProperties_CL to this many days (Log Analytics keeps a table at least 4 days, so a lower value is raised to 4 and the run says so), and the data sync removes older full metadata from the Pro database. Every snapshot inside these days is kept, so the asset page's history goes back this far. The data is only needed for the hand-off, the history and the change guard, so a short retention keeps the cost low.
When blank or default
Left blank, the default applies: 3 days
Risk and how to reverse it
Changes how long data is kept or how quickly assets are treated as gone. Shortening a retention DELETES older data at the next clean-up and that cannot be undone; shortening a grace period retires assets (and closes their findings) sooner. Lengthening is safe but uses more storage.
Requires
A SecurityInsight Pro licence.
Recommended
Keep the default. Change it when: Raise it only if the full asset metadata must be looked up further back.
