Please note that I am not the owner of this alert. Is it possible that because of this I'm unable to disable it?

Hi @rahul2gupta,

can you see this alert in alerts' list?

maybe it's a private alert not shared.

Hi @rahul2gupta,

probably the problem is that the alert is in system instead in an app.

So you could try to delete the alert in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/savedsearches.conf 8and restart Splunk.

Otherwise, open a Case to Splunk Support.

Ciao.
