eventtypes.conf
The following are the spec and example files for eventtypes.conf.
eventtypes.conf.spec
# Version 6.4.3 # # This file contains all possible attributes and value pairs for an # eventtypes.conf file. Use this file to configure event types and their # properties. You can also pipe any search to the "typelearner" command to # create event types. Event types created this way will be written to # $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/eventtypes.conf. # # There is an eventtypes.conf in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/default/. To set # custom configurations, place an eventtypes.conf in # $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/. For examples, see eventtypes.conf.example. # You must restart Splunk to enable configurations. # # To learn more about configuration files (including precedence) please see # the documentation located at # http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Admin/Aboutconfigurationfiles
GLOBAL SETTINGS
# GLOBAL SETTINGS # Use the [default] stanza to define any global settings. # * You can also define global settings outside of any stanza, at the top # of the file. # * Each conf file should have at most one default stanza. If there are # multiple default stanzas, attributes are combined. In the case of # multiple definitions of the same attribute, the last definition in the # file wins. # * If an attribute is defined at both the global level and in a specific # stanza, the value in the specific stanza takes precedence.
[<$EVENTTYPE>]
[<$EVENTTYPE>] * Header for the event type * $EVENTTYPE is the name of your event type. * You can have any number of event types, each represented by a stanza and any number of the following attribute/value pairs. * NOTE: If the name of the event type includes field names surrounded by the percent character (for example "%$FIELD%") then the value of $FIELD is substituted into the event type name for that event. For example, an event type with the header [cisco-%code%] that has "code=432" becomes labeled "cisco-432". disabled = [1|0] * Toggle event type on or off. * Set to 1 to disable. search = <string> * Search terms for this event type. * For example: error OR warn. priority = <integer, 1 through 10> * Value used to determine the order in which the matching eventtypes of an event are displayed. * 1 is the highest and 10 is the lowest priority. description = <string> * Optional human-readable description of this saved search. tags = <string> * DEPRECATED - see tags.conf.spec color = <string> * color for this event type. * Supported colors: none, et_blue, et_green, et_magenta, et_orange, et_purple, et_red, et_sky, et_teal, et_yellow
eventtypes.conf.example
# Version 6.4.3 # # This file contains an example eventtypes.conf. Use this file to configure custom eventtypes. # # To use one or more of these configurations, copy the configuration block into eventtypes.conf # in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/. You must restart Splunk to enable configurations. # # To learn more about configuration files (including precedence) please see the documentation # located at http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Admin/Aboutconfigurationfiles # # The following example makes an eventtype called "error" based on the search "error OR fatal." [error] search = error OR fatal # The following example makes an eventtype template because it includes a field name # surrounded by the percent character (in this case "%code%"). # The value of "%code%" is substituted into the event type name for that event. # For example, if the following example event type is instantiated on an event that has a # "code=432," it becomes "cisco-432". [cisco-%code%] search = cisco
