About Operational Settings

Use Admin Center > Site Settings > Settings for per-Site configuration that governs how AlloyScan audits, prunes, and retains operational data on the current Site.

This section is intentionally split into separate topics because these pages do different jobs. They should not be treated as one generic "Settings" bucket.

Admin Center > Site Settings > Settings

What belongs here

The Settings area covers per-Site operational configuration such as:

  • credentials used by discovery and audit workflows
  • scan and audit schedules
  • audit service settings
  • audit agent settings
  • inventory pruning settings
  • Windows MachineId fallback for duplicate device identity
  • change tracking configuration
  • snapshot storage

Why this section matters

These settings affect how the current Site collects and retains data.

Examples:

  • Audit service settings control inactivity cleanup and cloud-module behavior for Audit Services
  • Audit agent settings control inactivity cleanup and automatic tagging for agent-audited devices
  • Inventory settings control when stale devices are pruned
  • Windows MachineId fallback controls how AlloyScan handles repeated BIOS UUIDs on devices that would otherwise look like duplicates
  • Change tracking controls whether deltas are recorded at all, and for how long

Scope note

Everything here is per-Site. These settings do not change other Sites on the same instance.
