Delete your AWS data inputs for Data Manager

Before you can delete your data inputs for Data Manager, you have to delete the resources that you created in Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Delete an AWS data input

You can delete the AWS resources from the CLI or from the AWS Console using the steps in the Data Manager app. The steps are slightly different if you have specified only us-east-1 for your data ingestion.

Single account data input delete

The steps are described in detail within Data Manager. The details are not duplicated here.

Even though you may not have selected the us-east-1 region for data ingestion, the CloudFormation templates create a stack or StackSet in this region anyway. See the Summary of CloudFormation stack templates section of the Onboard AWS in Data Manager topic in this manual.

To delete your AWS stack for a single account data input, complete the following steps:

1. Delete stack SplunkDMDataIngest-<input ID> from your non-us-east-1 regions.
   Wait for each stack to delete completely before proceeding.
2. If you get an error, see Troubleshoot the AWS CloudFormation Template deployment.
3. Delete stack SplunkDMDataIngest-<input ID> from region us-east-1.
   Wait for the stack to delete completely before proceeding.
4. If you get an error, see Troubleshoot the AWS CloudFormation Template deployment.
5. (Optional) If you have the SplunkDM-dataingest-dft-<input ID> S3 in us-east1, delete it.
6. (Optional) If you completed the previous step and you have the SplunkDMS3Bucket-<input ID> in us-east-1, delete it.

Navigate to the Data Manager app, and perform the following steps:

1. Click Delete Data Input to delete the data input.
2. After you have clicked Delete in the Data Manager app, the data input status on the Data Management home page is "Marked for delete." This takes several minutes while it deletes the HEC tokens and the KV Store configuration.

Multiple account data input delete

The steps are described in detail within Data Manager. The details are not duplicated here.

Even though you may not have selected the us-east-1 region for data ingestion, the CloudFormation templates create a stack or stackset in this region anyway. See the Summary of CloudFormation stack templates section of the Onboard AWS in Data Manager topic in this manual.

To delete your AWS stack for a multiple account data input, complete the following steps:

1. From the region of your control account.
2. Delete the stacks from the StackSet, using the data account IDs.
   1. Specify your regions in the order listed in Data Manager. Make sure that you do not change the order. The us-east-1 region is always last.
3. Wait till all stack instances are deleted.
4. If you get an error, see Troubleshoot the AWS CloudFormation Template deployment.
5. (Optional) If you have the SplunkDM-dataingest-cft-<input ID> S3 in us-east1, delete it.
6. (Optional) If you completed the previous step and you have the SplunkDMS3Bucket-<input ID> in us-east-1, delete it.

Navigate to the Data Manager app, and perform the following steps:

1. Click Delete Data Input to delete the data input.
2. After you have clicked Delete in the Data Manager app, the data input status on the Data Management home page is "Marked for delete." This takes several minutes while it deletes the HEC tokens and the KV Store configuration.
