Hi shariinPH,

If you haven't set any coldToFrozenScript in your indexes.conf your old events will not be archived http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.3/Indexer/Automatearchiving

That said, if you're using all default settings for your indexes, Splunk will delete any old events for you.
Check the docs for more details on that http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.3/Indexer/Setaretirementandarchivingpolicy

Hope that helps ...

cheers, MuS
