By default, do data models in the CIM Add-on search across all indexes?

Data models in the Common Information Model (CIM) Add-on are designed to search across all indexes by default. This is significant because it allows users to create unified and comprehensive insights from diverse data sources without manually specifying each individual index. By facilitating searches across all indices, the CIM Add-on maximizes the efficiency and effectiveness of data analysis, enabling users to leverage the full spectrum of indexed data for generating reports and dashboards. This default behavior supports seamless data exploration and analytics, providing a broader context and richer insights for users working with Splunk.

Other options suggest limitations on the scope of data model searches, which do not align with the design intent of the CIM Add-on as it is created to ensure comprehensive access to data. Thus, the ability to automatically include all indexes streamlines the analytical processes for users.
