You can use the Export Results link to export your search result as a .zip file.

The Export Results link is displayed at the top of the search result after performing a particular search. You can use this search result as a reference in the future.

  2. Perform a search.

  3. To export the search result, click the Export Results link. All the search results are written into a .csv file, which is then zipped and provided for download.

  4. On clicking on export results link, an Opening Search_xevents.zip window is displayed with the option to save the Search_xevents.zip file on your local machine.

    This zip file has the information about the various fields of the event source.

    Where x is the number of the tab result search.

    For example; the first tab search result is named as Search_0 and the second tab search result is named as Search_1, and shown in the search result page.

NOTE:To maintain the consistency between the total search results in the Sentinel Log Manager user interface and the exported events, it is important that the time of the client and the server are in sync. If the time is out of sync, then there may be differences in the total events in the Sentinel Log Manager user interface and the exported events.
