logscale-syntax

A VS Code extension for LogScale/CrowdStrike Query Language (formerly Humio) syntax highlighting. Get it here for VS Code, or here for VSCodium.

Features

  • Syntax highlighting for .logscale, .cql, .lql, or .humio files. Plain and simple.
  • Syntax highlighting for embedded queries within .yaml files using the alerts schema
  • Full language functions support up to LogScale version 1.159.1.

Configuration

YAML Highlighted Keys

By default, the extension will apply syntax highlighting to text under queryString inside YAML files, which is the key used by LogScale packages.

You can customise this if you want to apply highlighting to other keys, such as script for parser files. To change this, either:

  • go to Preferences: Open User Settings -> Extensions -> LogScale Syntax Highlighting -> YAML Highlighted Keys and click Add Item.
  • or in settings.json, configure logscale-syntax.yamlHighlightedKeys as a list.

Demo

Syntax highlighting:
