Latest splunk version does not support event type colors? It gives you the option to save the even type as a color, however this is never reflected in the search apps, these events are always black like any other event when returned in a search.
I hadn't tried it before, but I just did, and it worked, but only after I logged out and back in again. This is on Splunk Enterprise 6.1.4. The matching events display with a colored bar along the left, in the column marked with an i.
There is clearly some kind of bug here, since logging in and out shouldn't make a difference anyway. What version are you using?
I am on 6.1 Enterprise
6.1.0? 6.1.4 is the latest.
I'm on 6.1.2 apparently
Actually it looks like I am running
Splunk 6.1.2 (build 213098)
This doesn't work for me. No colored bars or text for the matched event types even though they are tagged with the event type i specified.
