ksconf sort¶
Sort a Splunk .conf file. Sort has two modes: (1) by default, the sorted
config file will be echoed to the screen. (2) the config files are updated
in-place when the -i
option is used.
Manually managed conf files can be blacklisted by adding a comment containing the
string KSCONF-NO-SORT
to the top of any .conf file.
usage: ksconf sort [-h] [--target FILE | --inplace] [-F] [-q] [-n LINES]
FILE [FILE ...]
Positional Arguments¶
FILE | Input file to sort, or standard input. |
Named Arguments¶
--target, -t | File to write results to. Defaults to standard output. |
--inplace, -i | Replace the input file with a sorted version. Warning this a potentially destructive operation that may move/remove comments. |
-n, --newlines | Number of lines between stanzas. |
In-place update arguments¶
-F, --force | Force file sorting for all files, even for files containing the special ‘KSCONF-NO-SORT’ marker. |
-q, --quiet | Reduce the output. Reports only updated or invalid files. This is useful for pre-commit hooks, for example. |
