Evicting data associated with a data intake and query system from a local storage

Systems and methods are disclosed for making space available in a local storage of a data intake and query system. A cache manager of the data intake and query system may determine an amount of storage space of a local data store that is available for use to perform a query. The cache manager may then use one or more eviction policies associated with content stored at the local data store to purge content items to evict from the local storage. The system may then retrieve content for performing the query from a remote storage and store the retrieved content at the local storage.
