Export a log to a CSV file

You can save the security log or the business history in a CSV file. You must have the Export logs permission and the permission to see the log.

Before you start

• Set the filter of the page. The file contains the entries that the filter shows.
• You can export only the entries of the places where you have the Export logs permission.

Steps

1. Open the Security log page or the Business history page.
2. In the Show list, select the entries that you want.
3. Select Export to CSV.
4. If the Confirm it is you dialog opens, type your Password. If the dialog also shows Code from the app, type the code from your authenticator app.
5. Select Confirm.
6. When the notice "Your export is ready" shows, select Notifications (the bell) at the top of the screen.
7. Select the notice.

Result

The browser downloads the file. The system makes the file in the background, so the notice can come after some time.

Rules and limits

• Only you can download the file.
• Caution: The file is available for 24 hours only. After this time, export the data again.
• You can make 20 exports in one hour.
• A file contains 100,000 entries or less. If there are more entries, the file contains only the newest entries. Then the notice says so. To export older entries, use a filter.
• If the export fails, the notice "Your export failed" shows. For example, your permission changed. Try again or speak to your administrator.
• The security log records each export as Security log exported or Business history exported.
