  1. Open the Chocolatey Central Management Site in the browser.

  2. Login with the ccmadmin user.

  3. In the left-hand menu click on Administration and then Settings.

  4. Click on the Dashboard tab in the Settings screen.

  5. Adjust the Amount of time, in Days, before being notified of Computers not reporting in.

  6. Click the Save All button to save changes.

:choco-info: NOTE

When the Stale Computer Retention Policy is enabled, it is not possible to set the Amount of time, in Days, before being notified of Computers not reporting in for the Dashboard to a number that is lower than what is currently configured for the Amount of time, in Days, to keep stale Computers before deleting setting, and vice versa. If this is attempted, a validation warning will be shown.

:choco-info: NOTE

When upgrading to Chocolatey Central Management 0.12.0, if the Stale Computer Retention Policy is enabled, if the current value for Amount of time, in Days, to keep stale Computers before deleting is less than the default value for Amount of time, in Days, before being notified of Computers not reporting in, a change will be made to the default value to make it half of the configured value for Amount of time, in Days, to keep stale Computers before deleting.
