Exporting active alarms

You can schedule periodic exports of alarm data from the Alarms and Events View Active page. Active alarm data can be exported immediately, or you can schedule exports to occur daily or weekly. If filtering has been applied in the View Active page, only filtered data is exported.

During data export, the system automatically creates a CSV file of the filtered data. The file will be available in the file management area until you manually delete it, or until the file is transfered to an alternate location using the Export Server feature. For more information about using Export Server, see Data Export.

Alarm details can be exported to a file by clicking the Export button on the View Active page. The system automatically creates and writes the exported active alarm details to a CSV file in the file management area.

If filtering has been applied in the View Active page, only filtered, active alarms are exported.
