How can I delete the older UPDATE_TIME record(record2).

UNIQUE_ID, UPDATE_TIME・・・・・・
record1: 10001,2012/12/01,・・・・・・・・
record2: 10001,2012/11/01,・・・・・・・・

... | stats count, values(UPDATE_TIME) AS DATE by UNIQUE_ID | stats min(UPDATE_TIME)
⇒ I can get the record2
... | stats count, values(UPDATE_TIME) AS DATE by UNIQUE_ID | stats min(UPDATE_TIME) | delete
⇒ Error

You cannot run delete on transformed results, like what you get when you run stats. The delete command needs the raw events as input, otherwise it won't work. So, find a way to grab the events that you want to delete and pipe those events to delete.

Thanks for your answer!
I want to determine the older data by Splunk.Use any Splunk's function to compare.

If there was something better solution, please let me know.

Thank you very much!
