The Journal component of a bucket stores raw event data before it undergoes processing and indexing.
The component of a bucket that stores raw event data in the context of log management and data indexing systems is the Journal. The Journal is where incoming data streams are initially written to. The data is then processed, indexed, and stored in a more permanent and searchable format. However, the raw data resides in the Journal before it undergoes the indexing process. It is not stored in TSIDX files, Posting Lists, or the Lexicon, as those components are used for indexed data, helping to facilitate efficient searching and data retrieval rather than storing the raw unprocessed data.
