What it does

Chooses how much detail is kept per asset: everything collected (cmdb) or only the columns the schema declares (security).

When set

security gives smaller rows and lower ingest cost, but drops undeclared properties that queries or dashboards may use; dropped fields are listed in the run log. An unknown value falls back to cmdb.

When blank or default

Left blank, the default applies: cmdb: every collected property is kept

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.

Nothing else.
