4.1.6 Exporting KPIs

You can schedule periodic exports of security log data from the KPIs page. KPI data can be exported immediately, or you can schedule exports to occur daily or weekly. If filtering has been applied in the KPIs 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 transferred to an alternate location using the Export Server feature. For more information about using Export Server, see Data Export.

Note:

When a KPI is exported to a CSV file, each KPI column name is prefixed with an appropriate Group name. For example, KPI related to Diameter is displayed as [Diameter]MsgCopy Queue Utilization.
