Cisco E3A-SK-MDL-R-S Machine Data Lake Retention

Retain Splunk machine data in a Machine Data Lake with the standard time-to-live option. Cisco E3A-SK-MDL-R-S represents a GB-based entitlement for retained data, allowing retained-data capacity to be represented independently as part of an EA3 application deployment. The entitlement applies to Machine Data Lake data retention rather than a physical appliance or network component. Machine data can include operational records, application events, infrastructure telemetry, and security-relevant logs that must remain available beyond immediate analysis. This retained-data entitlement aligns with environments where teams need to preserve that data in the Machine Data Lake while applying the standard TTL treatment. Capacity is expressed in GB, making the retained-data unit clear when sizing the required entitlement quantity. The standard TTL designation is the defining retention characteristic of this selection. TTL controls how long retained data remains available before expiry; this item identifies the standard option without assigning a retention period in the ordering description. It belongs to the EA3 application family and focuses specifically on retained Machine Data Lake data, rather than ingest capacity, search capability, compute resources, or hardware.
