Eval results aren’t saved permanently; they’re just new fields created on the fly, so A.

A. The eval command basically calculates new fields on the fly during a search, so the results live in those temporary fields tied to each event. They don’t actually get saved anywhere outside that search context like an index or database. That’s why A makes the most sense here.

A imo, eval results create new fields within the current search events, so they’re stored in fields temporarily during the search, not separately saved in an index or database.

Option B sounds right since eval commands often create new fields inside search results, but not sure if they actually store results separately in an index. Anyone got a clearer take?
