Deleting a bucket

[bobwalden]

Suppose I want to delete a bucket from an indexer for some reason. Can I:

1. stop splunk
2. delete the offending bucket
3. start splunk

Any harmful side effects? I've done this on a test setup and seems ok.

thanks,
bw

That's the right way. Buckets in the thawed state can be removed while the server is running, but hot / warm/ cold should not be.
