What it does
Chooses where the Azure collection writes its results: Log Analytics (LA), JSON files and/or Excel files.
When set
Leaving out LA means no Azure data in your workspace, so Risk Analysis and workbooks miss it; the collected records still go to the database. Leaving out JSON or Excel only saves local files and time.
When blank or default
Left blank, the default applies: All three: Log Analytics, JSON and Excel
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
Read by: azure.
Recommended
Keep the default. Change it when: Most installs never should; drop file outputs if nobody uses them.
