About data retention

Administrators can enable data retention and configure the default data retention policy to define the time period for which artifacts are retained in Application Security. You can configure the time period to retain the artifacts and the number of artifacts to retain per application version.

After the defined retention period is reached, the artifacts are eligible for purging from Application Security. You can schedule the data cleanup service that purges artifacts from Application Security when you enable data retention.

When you enable data retention, Application Security applies the default data retention policy across all applications. You can also configure individual application versions to opt-out of the default data retention policy.
