Sublime Text syntax highlighting for .conf files
Sublime Text is awesome! But, there's no great way to get syntax highlighting for a Splunk .conf file… until now!
It works with Sublime Text 2 & 3!

Patterns
Patterns are used to identify some part of a file.
Patterns used by this package:
^# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE\\!$
- marks any lines as invalid if they are# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE!
^#.*$
- marks any lines that start with#
as a comment^\\[.*\\]$
- marks any line starting with[
and ending with]
as a stanza^[\\w+\\.\\-\\:]+
- marks the beginning of a line as a conf key; defined by any whitespace, alphanumeric,-
or:
characters=
- marks any=
as an equals sign
Patterns have 3 main attributes:
match
(or,begin
andend
): regex patternsname
: aTextMate
language grammar group,comment.line
for an inline commentcomment
: a comment about the pattern
Resources
- This TextMate Language Grammars guide is really helpful for figuring out what name to use for each rule.
Development Notes
There are 2 important files here:
splunk-conf.YAML-tmLanguage
- TheAAAPackageDev
package compiles this to the following, this YAML file is much easier to usesplunk-conf.tmLanguage
- This is a TextMate language definition file in XML format. SublimeText uses this format, it's a necessary evil.Install package control if you haven't already
cmd + shift + P (Mac) or ctrl + shift + P (Windows)
- Install package
- AAAPackageDev
Open
splunk-conf.YAML-tmLanguage
cmd + B should update
splunk-conf.tmLanguage
, make a small change and see if it worked. If not, play with your build system settings under Tools -> Build SystemDuring development you'll need to constantly copy the
splunk-conf.tmLanguage
into your Sublime Text package folder, like so:cp splunk-conf.tmLanguage ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 3/Packages/user/splunk-conf.tmLanguage
If something doesn't seem to update, quit & reopen Sublime Text and it should work.
