Downloading Events

You can download from CDO, events visible on the Historical tab of the Event Logging page. Here are some features of event downloads:

  • CDO adds the events to a .csv file and then compresses them in the .gz format.

  • A single .csv file can accommodate up to approximately 50 GB of compressed information.

The duration to download data is dependent on different factors such as network congestion, allotted network bandwidth, ingestion rate, size of the events and so on.

The following tables provides approximate duration taken to download different quantities of events:
