Solved: Re: How to delete events from an indexer? - Splunk Community

Getting Data In

Hi
I wanna delete Events from an indexer (x).
First of all, I added "delete_by_keyword" capability for admin then I wrote :

index=x suid=th:0 |eval index="x" |delete

in the search& report app
I saw " error: you don't have capability to delete from index x"
How can I solve it?
