What it does
Writes every asset SecurityInsight knows into a CI table in the Pro database (one row per asset with its tier, department, owner, business services, identifiers and change history), for reporting and Power BI.
When enabled
when a Pro database is configured
When disabled
Off, the CMDB connector job ends at once and the CI table keeps what it last held; nothing is deleted. On, each run creates new CIs, updates changed ones and retires CIs that are gone.
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: Turn off only if you do not want the CI table kept up to date.
