If you are a Notepad++ user and desire syntax highlighting for the Splunk Search Processing Language (SPL), two Notepad++ User Defined Languages (UDLs) became recently available for Splunk. Below is an example of the Splunk SPL (Light Mode) UDL in use:
There's also a Splunk SPL (Dark Mode) UDL. Both UDLs can be downloaded from within Notepad++ by using the CollectionInterface plugin. Once that plugin is installed via "Plugins --> Plugins Admin..." you go to: "Plugins --> CollectionInterface --> Collection Interface: Download" and you'll see the "Collection Interface: Download" dialog:
Select the UDLs you want and check the AutoCompletion option if desired. The UDLs will be downloaded to the Notepad++ userDefineLangs folder. Windows users will find the folder here:
- %APPDATA%\Notepad++\userDefineLangs
The file names for the two UDLs are:
- Splunk_SPL_Light_Mode.xml
- Splunk_SPL_Dark_Mode.xml
These can be imported into Notepad++ via the "Language --> User Defined Language --> Define your language..." menu item.
Thanks
