Hi @man03359 , at first, in frozenTimePeriodInSecs, don't use commas. then, the meaning of the four statuses is the following: Hot: just indexed data, in a bucket with in progress tsdindexes creation and usable for on-line searches, Warm: data indexed from few days, that are used by the most searches and usable for on-line searches, they usually are located in high performances storage (at least 800 IOPS, better more), Cold: not so recent data, used by few searches and usable for on-line searches, they usually are located in less expensive storages, Frozen: data that are stored off line but that it's possible to recoved copying the entire bucket in the thawed folder, to have frozen data, you must configure Splunk to save them, by default dey are deleted. Data roll to frozed after the earliest event of a bucket exceeds the retention period, for this reason you could have , in your searches, data before the retention period. if you use a short retention period and you index few data, your bucket could directly pass from Warm to frozen or be deleted. It's very difficoult that a data directly pass from Hot to Frozed because a bucket rolls from Hot to Warm when it reaches 10 GB or after three days, you should have a retention period less than three days and have less than 10 GB in this period.
