What it does
How many months the Pro audit trail (every action in the web app, the jobs and setup: who, when, why, before and after) keeps its rows.
When set
When set, the data sync removes audit rows older than this many months and records that removal on the trail itself. It cannot be shorter than 13 months; a smaller value or one that is not a whole number is refused and the trail is kept in full.
When blank or default
Left blank, the default applies: not set: the audit trail is kept forever
Risk and how to reverse it
Setting it, or lowering it, PERMANENTLY deletes audit rows older than this at the next sync (at least 13 months is enforced). Cannot be undone; check your audit obligations first.
Requires
A SecurityInsight Pro licence.
Recommended
Not set (keep the audit trail), or your audit policy's period.
