Event Types and Tags

Look up Event

You can see what tags other Splunk users have assigned to an event type by clicking the Look up Event link. You can upload your own tags for sharing, and discuss the circumstances and meaning of an event on Splunk's wiki.

Look up an Event Type at Splunk Base

Click the Look up Event link. A dialog box appears.

Anonymize Your Data

If you click Anonymize First any potentially identifying series of characters in the event will be replaced with semi-random text that doesn't change its event type pattern. Check your data carefully for unanonymized fields that shouldn't be submitted, as well as important segments (e.g. a severity level) that may have been over-zealously scrambled. Use the boxes labeled Restore these terms: and Anonymize these additional items: to refine the anonymization of the event. Then click Re-Anonymize to apply your changes.

Submit an Event to Splunk Base

If you've registered and logged in at www.splunk.com you'll see a page with information on the event type you submitted.

Download these tags

To apply tags from Splunk Base to your server, click the Download these tags button on the Splunk Base page.

Splunk Professional Users

Splunk Professional users without Power User or Admin status can view and search tags and look them up at Splunk Base. They can't download tags to update the local Splunk index, though.
