Hi @New_splunkie, It's great to see your interest in Data Manager!

However, there are a few requirements that your deployment must meet in order to have it on your Splunk Cloud Platform.  You can use Data Manager if your Splunk Cloud Platform deployment meets the following requirements: Runs Splunk Cloud Platform versions 8.2.2104.1 and higher on the Victoria experience.
