How Long Are Discovered Hosts Retained in OpenVAS?

Hello,

I have a question regarding the Assets/Hosts module in OpenVAS.

As I understand it, OpenVAS keeps track of hosts (IP addresses) that have been discovered during vulnerability scans.

Could you please let me know how long these discovered hosts/IP addresses are retained in the Assets section?

Are they stored indefinitely until they are manually removed, or is there a configurable retention period or automatic cleanup mechanism?

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,
