how to cleanup splunk space through script. I don't have a script. How to create a script to help clean up splunk space and delete old files. not getting reporting; it's not uploading any logs.
Hi @asimsk84 ,
sorry, but why do you want to use a script to clean old Splunk data files?
You can set up a retention time (adding to each index the parameter frozenTimePeriodInSecs) and Splunk automaticall removes the old buckets in a correct way.
Ciao.

Hello @asimsk84 welcome!
depending on your retention policy on indexes.conf old buckets won't be frozen and will be deleted : https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Do-I-need-to-define-coldToFrozenDir-in-indexes-conf-...

You should not delete any file yourself, leave Splunk manage.
