Exporting Monitoring Data

Save a segment of monitoring data to a location outside of the monitoring database. Export data to back up information, particularly before purging it from the database, or to perform closer analysis of the data in a spreadsheet application.

Context

This option is especially useful when you need to share monitoring data with other administrators and tenants. Since this task can be time-consuming, depending upon the size of the data being exported, SAP recommends that you export the data in segments or perform the export at a time when SAP Control Center is not in use.

Note The time taken to export the requested data is dependent on the time range specified, and the amount of data in the monitoring database. If the export is taking too long, or the user interface is blocked for too long, another option is to export the monitoring data using the management APIs provided for exporting monitoring data. Please see Developer Guide: SAP Mobile Server Runtime > Management API for further details.

Procedure

In the left navigation pane, select Monitoring.
In the right administration pane, select the tab corresponding to the monitoring data you want to view.
Perform a search using the appropriate criteria to obtain the desired monitoring data.
Click Export.
Select a file type for the exported data (CSV or XML), and click Next.
Click Finish.
In the file browser dialog, select a save location and enter a unique file name.
Click Save.
All monitoring data retrieved by the search is saved to the file you specify in step 7.
