I can not find the video of the session or any information of how he did it. There is more then one way of coloring custom views and all but i really really remember it being in the normal event view and i recall seeing that in splunk 6 it would now color the block in front of the event display plus some gui to configure it when creating a eventtype...</P> <P>Anyone else recalls how this is done?</P> Wed, 27 Aug 2014 17:02:37 GMT dominiquevocat 2014-08-27T17:02:37Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/How-to-assign-colors-to-events-by-eventtype/m-p/197144#M12341 <P>At splunk .conf2013 in one of the very last sessions a senior support guy showed how you can assign coloring to highlight events in eventview depending on their eventtype.

It is exposed in splunk 6 directly in this dialoge.</P> Wed, 27 Aug 2014 17:04:21 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/How-to-assign-colors-to-events-by-eventtype/m-p/197145#M12342 dominiquevocat 2014-08-27T17:04:21Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/How-to-assign-colors-to-events-by-eventtype/m-p/197146#M12343 <P>I have been trying to use this, but regardless of what color I assign, they are never returned in that color. All events are black regardless of even type color assignment.</P> Wed, 08 Oct 2014 16:04:22 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/How-to-assign-colors-to-events-by-eventtype/m-p/197146#M12343 Cuyose 2014-10-08T16:04:22Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/How-to-assign-colors-to-events-by-eventtype/m-p/197147#M12344 <P>The coloring uses a referal in stylesheet in $SPLUNK/etc/system/local/event_renderers.conf those are css elements in $SPLUNK/etc/apps/search/appserver/static/application.css and just use the predefined ones:</P> <H1>classes used by eventtype renderer</H1> <P>.splEvent-et_blue .t { color:#00F; }<BR /> .splEvent-et_green .t { color:#0C0; }<BR /> .splEvent-et_magenta .t { color:#F09; }<BR /> .splEvent-et_orange .t { color:#F30; }<BR /> .splEvent-et_purple .t { color:#90C; }<BR /> .splEvent-et_red .t { color:#F00; }<BR /> .splEvent-et_sky .t { color:#09F; }<BR /> .splEvent-et_teal .t { color:#099; }<BR /> .splEvent-et_yellow .t { color:#990; }</P> Mon, 28 Sep 2020 17:58:44 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/How-to-assign-colors-to-events-by-eventtype/m-p/197147#M12344 dominiquevocat 2020-09-28T17:58:44Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/How-to-assign-colors-to-events-by-eventtype/m-p/197148#M12345 <P>Although it isn't in the eventtype settings page- which is bizarre.
