I'm not so sure it's useful and it's eating up 10G of disk space.</P> Mon, 24 Jan 2011 22:45:30 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Sample-DB-can-I-delete-it/m-p/30877#M178053 nocostk 2011-01-24T22:45:30Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Sample-DB-can-I-delete-it/m-p/30878#M178054 <P>Huh, 10 gig? I guess something went wrong here. Yes you can delete the sample index as well as disable or delete the sample app at <CODE>$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/sample_app</CODE>.</P> Mon, 24 Jan 2011 22:53:39 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Sample-DB-can-I-delete-it/m-p/30878#M178054 ziegfried 2011-01-24T22:53:39Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Sample-DB-can-I-delete-it/m-p/30879#M178055 <P>Keep in mind that the <CODE>sample_app</CODE> will be re-installed by the installer whenever you upgrade splunk. So instead of deleting the app, I suggest disabling it. That preference will persist even after a new version of splunk has been installed; but if you remove the app, it will be installed again in an "enabled" state.</P> Tue, 25 Jan 2011 02:51:44 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Sample-DB-can-I-delete-it/m-p/30879#M178055 Lowell 2011-01-25T02:51:44Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Sample-DB-can-I-delete-it/m-p/30880#M178056 <P>It should be closer to 10 megabytes, not 10 GB.</P> Tue, 25 Jan 2011 09:43:10 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Sample-DB-can-I-delete-it/m-p/30880#M178056 gkanapathy 2011-01-25T09:43:10Z
