Steps to remove a cluster member permanently

[a212830]

Hi,

What are the required steps to permanently remove a member from a cluster?

[dflodstrom · Accepted solution]

To remove an indexer from your cluster permanently use:

splunk offline --enforce-counts

You can watch the progress on the indexer clustering dashboard.

You may want to clarify, an indexer cluster (single site / multi-site) or a search head cluster?

Sorry - single-site indexer cluster.
