Hi,

I've got a problem.

There is no way to remove the host from splunk?

No DELETE button and confirmation, NOTHING 😞

Could you help me with this problem?

BR,
Tomasz

See below. Default permissions do not let you delete data but it does remove the data from the index. You can 'clean' an index of data permanently and you'll see that option in the link as well. Just make sure you want to delete the data since you can't get it back.
