What it does
When the collection of one source (identities, Azure resources, endpoints, the public IP scan) fails, the run goes on with that source's last good collection and says how old it is. When a source has had no good collection for this many days or more, delivery waits: no mail is sent and no ticket is changed until that source collects again.
When set
Lower makes delivery wait sooner; higher lets mails and ticket updates go out longer on older data. 0 means delivery never waits for a source. The calculation always goes on, and nothing is closed or retired because a source is down.
When blank or default
Left blank, the default applies: 7 days
Risk and how to reverse it
Higher, or 0: mails and ticket updates keep going out although one source's data is that many days old. Lower: delivery waits sooner when a source stays down. The calculation is never held by it, and nothing is closed or retired by it. Reversible at once.
Requires
A SecurityInsight Pro licence.
Recommended
Keep the default. Change it when: Raise it when a source is known to be down for longer and the mails should keep going out meanwhile.
