Prisma Cloud Compute: Retention data in Collections

• The scan results like the ones found at Compute > Monitor > Vulnerabilities/Compliance disappear after sitting for up to 30 days.
• The audits like the ones found at Compute > Monitor > Events  disappear after reaching a cap limit of the number of audits or the amount of data consumed (whichever limit is hit first).

• Prisma Cloud Compute- SaaS
• Prisma Cloud Compute - Self-hosted version 21.04 and above

• Prisma Cloud caps the size of some data collections to prevent misconfigured systems from consuming all available disk space and compromising the availability of the Console service.
• The retention of data collections on the Compute Console is governed by limitations enforced on the Console's database.

1. The "Registry scan results" found at Compute > Manage > System allow you to customize the period of retaining the scan results of images deleted from the registry in the range of 1-30 days.

2. For audits, if you must retain all of them, consider configuring Console to send audits to syslog, and then forward audits to a log management system for long-term storage
3. The scan results can be exported as a CSV file on a regular basis in order to make sure that you do not lose any data.
