exports your search results into a CSV file. This saves the
table as a text file containing comma-separated values. Note that if an error occurs when
exporting the data, the exported CSV file will include a line (usually as the last line of the
file) starting with a zero and the details of the problem, for example,
0<description_of_
the_error>
.
CAUTION:
Do not use Download CSV export to export large amounts of data, as
exporting data can be very slow, especially if the system is under heavy
load. If you regularly need a large portion of your data in plain text
format, consider using the SSB RPC API (for details, see
API" in the Administration Guide
), or sharing the log files on the network
and processing them with external tools (for details, see
files across the network" in the Administration Guide
).

For detailed information on content-based alerts, see
"Creating content-based alerts" in the
