Getting Data In

How to remove sources from disk via CLI?

Hello,

We’re looking to remove data from one of our indexes, preferably using the clean operator from the CLI.

We have the some sources like “Perfmon:CPU Load” and “WinEventLog:System” – What would the correct clean syntax be to remove these sources from disk in the CLI be please?

Thanks

There is no way to remove selectively data from a bucket/index.
you can only hide it using the "|delete" command
or delete all data with the "clean" command
