Export log entries
Log, alert, and audit data can be exported directly from the Logs view. Use the export command for large numbers of entries.
To schedule export tasks that are executed automatically, use the Log Data Tasks tool to export logs instead.
To export the data in a human-readable format, we recommend saving the entries in a .pdf or .html file instead. You can use this option when the exported data does not need further processing.
If you have defined an export banner, the text of the banner is added at the beginning of each exported HTML file to indicate that the export contains sensitive or classified data.
