What it does

The safety check that protects your configuration items (CIs) and everything calculated from them: One source returned far fewer assets than in its last good collection, although the collection completed.

When enabled

the check works as described on the Guards page.

When disabled

a collection with far fewer assets is taken as it comes -- the assets the source no longer lists are marked not seen at once, and their CIs retire after the usual days.

Risk and how to reverse it

Turning this check off removes a protection: when its condition happens, nothing holds or stops the step and no event is raised. Reversible at once: switch it back on; it applies from the next run.

Requires

Works only while "All guards (safety checks)" is on.
