What it does
How many days the change history of each configuration item (CI) is kept in the Pro database.
When set
Older CI changes are removed after each data sync. Longer keeps more history on the CI page but grows the database.
When blank or default
Left blank, the default applies: 730 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: Shorten it to keep the database small; lengthen it when you need a longer audit of CI changes.
