Export

Download in compressed CSV the events returned by a query on the Explore screen. The export respects the filters and the time range applied in the query.

New export

On the Explore screen, configure the desired filters and run the query. Then open the export menu and confirm. The platform generates the file in the background, which may take a few minutes depending on the volume of records.

Close the window during processing if you prefer: the export continues in the background and becomes available in the history.

History

The history lists the exports performed by the account’s users over the last 7 days. After that period, the platform removes the files. See Limits and parameters for volume limits.

File format

The file is delivered gzip-compressed, with the .csv.gz extension. The CSV inside is encoded in UTF-8, with , as the column separator and double quotes around text fields that contain special characters. The first line contains the header with the field names.

Other characteristics of the content:

  • dates and times are written in UTC, in ISO 8601 format;
  • the rows follow no defined order. Sort the file after downloading when the order matters;
  • fields marked as sensitive are exported as an HMAC digest, never in plain text.

Embedded description

Each file carries its own description, written as the gzip comment. The description records:

  • the account and the exported period;
  • the date field used as reference;
  • the number of rows and the moment of generation;
  • the applied filters;
  • the list of columns, with the name and description of each one.

The description is not part of the CSV. Any decompressor ignores it, and a spreadsheet or an analysis tool reads exactly the same file that would be generated without it. A file forwarded to someone else carries with it the explanation of what it contains.

The list of columns may change without prior notice. Use exports for one-off analyses; for continuous integrations, prefer the API.
