You can initiate a one-time export task of alarm history
data or schedule periodic exports from the
page. If filtering has been applied in the
View History page, only filtered data is exported.
For each export task, the system automatically creates a
CSV file of the filtered data. The file is available in the file management
area until you manually delete it, or until the file is transferred to an
alternate location using the remote server data export feature. For more
information about using remote server data export, see
Remote Servers.
Use this procedure to export alarm and event history to
a file, or schedule a periodic data export task of this data.
