Exporting events to a file

When connected to the Server through the web interface, you can export information about events (and incidents) to files of the following formats:

• CSV

  When exporting a file in this format, the file saves information from the columns currently displayed in the table.

• JSON

  When exporting a file in this format, the file saves all available information about events, including service information from the database (such as information about devices associated with the events). The file can be used to upload detailed event data to other systems.

You can perform an export to CSV and JSON files for all events that satisfy the current filter and search settings, or selectively for events displayed in the table.

To export information about all events that satisfy the current filter and search settings:

1. Select the Events section.
2. Click the Export link in the toolbar to open the menu for selecting the format of the saved file.
3. In the opened window, select the relevant file format option: file in CSV format or file in JSON format.

   The file creation process starts.

4. If it takes a long time (more than 15 seconds) to create the file, the file creation operation is transferred to the list of background operations. In this case, to download the file:
   1. Click the button in the menu of the application web interface.

      The list of background operations appears.

   2. Wait for the file creation operation to finish.
   3. Click the Download file button.

Your browser will save the downloaded file. Depending on your browser settings, your screen may show a window in which you can change the path and name of the saved file.

To export information about selected events:

1. Select the Events section.
2. In the events table, select the events whose information you want to export to a file.

   After you select events, the details area opens in the right part of the web interface window.

3. Click the relevant part of the Export to: button indicating the necessary file format: CSV file or JSON file.

   The file creation process starts. If it takes a long time (more than 15 seconds) to create the file, perform the necessary actions for step 4 as described in the procedure for exporting information about all events.
