What it does
How recently an asset's profile must have been published for the SQL CMDB connector to count the asset as present.
When set
Shorter notices removed assets sooner but can count low-tier assets as missing, because they are re-profiled only weekly. A kind whose newest snapshot is older than this is not used at all and the run changes nothing. Below 1 is raised to 1.
When blank or default
Left blank, the default applies: 8 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: Only if you changed how often low-tier assets are re-profiled; keep it above the slowest re-check interval.
