"Splunk not data" means, the hosts that are not sent any data?
you can remove the bulk hosts from the serverClass.conf file, so that inputs file wont be deployed to these bulk hosts. but still these hosts would be sending the logs as per their existing inputs file.

i am not sure of this idea - if we blacklist a host which was whitelisted earlier, then, will the host still be sending the logs or not? need to verify this.

thanks and best regards,
Sekar
