Remove the Splunk monitors from CLI

[godman]

I am trying to remove some monitors and when i tried from CLI it's throwing me Error : Parameters must be in the form '-parameter value'
command used : ./splunk remove monitor /app/abcded -auth '$USERNAME:$PASSWORD'

I found the solution, by adding the -index to the command it worked :

{noformat}
./splunk remove monitor -source -index

{noformat}

Hello

Have a look at this remove monitor syntax given in this doc
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.1.2/Data/MonitorfilesanddirectoriesusingtheCLI#CLI_co...

Try this

./splunk remove monitor -source <source>

let me know if this helps!

Tried adding with the -source in the CLI and unfortunately same Error.
