Alerting

Why are we getting alerts for a disabled user?

Hi there,

One of my colleagues has created a dashboard for audit to know that who logged into Splunk and how many times he logs into Splunk for the last 7 days for all the users. One of the users left the organization in January and we deleted the account with admin login. Now we are seeing his name in the dashboard and alerts were triggering on his name also. We have again checked the user list but his name was not available, but we are still seeing his name in the alerts and dashboard. Can anyone help me with it…

Can you share the searches which are finding the deleted user, and the events with the user in?
