event_renderers.conf

The following are the spec and example files for event_renderers.conf.

event_renderers.conf.spec

   Version 8.0.4 

 This file contains possible attribute/value pairs for configuring event rendering properties.

 Beginning with version 6.0, Splunk Enterprise does not support the 
 customization of event displays using event renderers.

 There is an event_renderers.conf in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/default/.  To set custom configurations, 
 place an event_renderers.conf in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/, or your own custom app directory.

 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

 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.

[<name>]

* Stanza name. This name must be unique. 

eventtype = <event type>
* Specify event type name from eventtypes.conf.

priority = <positive integer>
* Highest number wins!! 

template = <valid Mako template>
* Any template from the $APP/appserver/event_renderers directory.

css_class = <css class name suffix to apply to the parent event element class attribute>
* This can be any valid css class value. 
* The value is appended to a standard suffix string of "splEvent-". A css_class value of foo would 
result in the parent element of the event having an html attribute class with a value of splEvent-foo 
(for example, class="splEvent-foo"). You can externalize your css style rules for this in 
$APP/appserver/static/application.css. For example, to make the text red you would add to 
application.css:.splEvent-foo { color:red; }
