Getting Data In

How can I set up a setting to keep data less than 6 months to stay cold before roll?

I've read all the articles and past questions but I must be missing something. Our requirement is simple 6 months searchable, 6 months frozen. then delete. but seems there is not an easy setting for anything less than cold to say 6months before roll. just seems data sizes?  currently our hot/warm/cold disk space is full and frozen is empty

[ns-switches]
homePath = volume:primary/ns-switches/db
coldPath = volume:primary/ns-switches/colddb
thawedPath = $SPLUNK_DB/ns-switches/thaweddb
maxTotalDataSizeMB = 512000
maxDataSize = auto_high_volume
coldToFrozenDir = /splunkfrozen/idx1/ns-switches/frozendb
frozenTimePeriodInSecs = 4320000

No errors in logs? Maybe some permission issues?

Your frozen time is pretty low for 6 months - it looks like 50 days or so. It should indeed get rolled to frozen if your buckets are over 50 days old.
