Export reports and dashboards

You can export reports to external applications, such as Microsoft Excel or if you'd like to generate a hardcopy, you can export them to a file, such as a PDF. The date on the report will be the date and time that the report was generated. Date and time are derived from the Portal Server's time zone, which was determined when your administrator installed the Portal. Exporting data is limited to the first 20,000 rows. Reports longer than 20,000 rows are truncated when exported. The report output (PDF, HTML, CSV, etc.) displays the message "Data in this report has been truncated." You can revise default number of rows by modifying the portal.properties file.

On a Linux Portal server, to ensure proper rendering of reports that are emailed or exported as HTML images or PDF files, a graphics manager such as X Virtual Frame Buffer (XVFB) is required. Contact your IT organization to configure this capability, if you plan to export/email reports as HTML images or as PDF files.

See Customizing the maximum number of lines for exported reports.

Do not confuse the exporting procedures described in this section with exporting a Custom Report definition (created in the SQL Template Designer or dynamic Template Designer).

See Export/Import SQL Templates.

Caution:

The export report feature of IT Analytics uses PhantomJS to export charts. Cohesity assures that the known vulnerability of PhantomJS (https://cve.report/vendor/phantomjs) fails to apply to the exported reports. However, if you choose to remove PhantomJS from IT Analytics Portal server, charts will not be available in your exported reports. For more information, see the Remove "PhantomJS" from IT Analytics Portal tech note.

Note:

The download status of the report will be displayed in the Downloads popup. To see all the download performed during the session, go to the user profile menu > Downloads.
