Why can't I delete lookup table files?

tkw03 — Mon, 01 Apr 2019 14:32:16 GMT

Hello,

As an admin, I tried to delete a lookup table file. I had copied all the apps back to the search head cluster deployer, including the lookup tables files for all the apps and then pushed the updated bundle, to get the deployer back into a current state.

In doing so, I apparently made the lookup tables not able to be deleted as the option no longer appears.

So I tried to use curl to delete them but that fails to with

Object id=LookupName.csv cannot be deleted in config=lookups

How can I delete these so they can be re-added?
Should I not sync them to the deployer? Wouldn't they get deleted with a bundle push if they aren't there?

Thanks for the assistance!

I'm having the same issue. Some input from the Splunk folks would be nice.

This seems to be working for me:

$SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk clear kvstore -app <your_app_name> -collection <collection_name>
