An inactive host that does not contact the Falcon cloud will be automatically removed from the Host Management and Trash pages after how many days?

CrowdStrike’s Host Management service runs an automatic-purge routine. When a sensor has not checked in to the Falcon Cloud for 90 consecutive days, its host record is deleted from the Host Management view and simultaneously removed from the Trash container; after that point no console record remains. This 90-day interval is hard-coded unless the customer has requested a different retention policy from Support.

A. 45 Days – host is only hidden (or moved to Trash, depending on tenant setting); it is not yet purged from both views.

B. 60 Days – no purge action is triggered at this point by default.

C. 75 Days – lies between the “hidden” threshold and the definitive 90-day purge; nothing is removed from both pages yet.
