What typically happens to data in the frozen bucket?

Data is ignored
Data is archived or deleted
Data is processed for indexing
Data is replicated

The correct answer is: Data is archived or deleted

In Splunk, once data reaches the frozen bucket stage, it is typically archived or deleted. This transition occurs after data has aged out of the hot, warm, and cold states, during which it is actively indexed and searchable. When data is in the frozen bucket, it is no longer accessible for search queries within the Splunk interface. If data is archived, it might be moved to a different storage system for long-term retention, but it's not available for real-time searching in Splunk. If it is deleted, it is permanently removed and can't be recovered. This process helps manage storage costs and ensures that the primary indexing environment remains efficient and performance-oriented by reducing the volume of data that needs to be actively managed. This understanding is vital for effective data lifecycle management in Splunk.
