Please bare with me I'm a splunk rookie, I currently have a Windows server with a forwarder installed on it sending data to my spunk server, I just want to remove the server that is forwarding data to splunk from the host list in splunk itself, I wish there was a easy was to just hit delete etc in the host list, is there a specific cmd I need to run and if so how and from where? Thanks
