For which option is the archive and thaw process Splunk-managed?

The archive and thaw process in Splunk is specifically managed for the option that involves Dynamic Data Active Archive. This process refers to how data that is no longer actively used can be archived to free up resources while still allowing for the potential retrieval of that data when necessary.

In this context, Splunk manages the archiving of data automatically based on your configurations, taking care of moving data out of active storage and into a less costly, long-term storage solution. It also manages the thawing process, which restores archived data for search when it is needed again, allowing for a streamlined data lifecycle management that optimizes performance and storage costs.

The option related to Local Data Management typically deals with actively-managed data and does not directly pertain to the archival and retrieval processes, while Dynamic Data Self Storage and Archived Data Retrieval don't encompass the full range of automated management that is characteristic of the Dynamic Data Active Archive option. Therefore, it is this option that effectively denotes the Splunk-managed nature of the archive and thaw process.
