Alerting

Unable to Remove Slack Alert From the Slack Alerts Configuration Page

Hi,

I mistakenly cloned an alert to the "Slack Alerts" app instead of the normal "Search & Reporting" app. 

This alert is functioning and sending Slack messages when triggered. But the alert is in the wrong app.

But worse is that the alert now appears in the "All Configurations" page.

I am able to disable the alert but not able to remove it and I really need to remove it from the "All Configurations" page. I'm also not able to edit the alert in any way.

Is it possible to remove the alert from the "All Configurations" page?

Hi @Simon1 

I feel there is not direct way to change the app context in UI also you are using splunk cloud.

otherway is go to searches reports and alerts from settings

then you can change the app context  and , once clone the alert delete the alert with app in slack context

Hi @SanjayReddy ,

That worked!

I was able to go to Searches Reports & Alerts from settings and delete the alert from there.

Thank you so much for your help!
