Hi @Anonymous_User , From GUI we cannot increase this limit. But for backend you can export phExportEventTool.

Hello Mohammed,

 

Could you please try to follow these steps?:

 

Specifying Search Time Window
Complete these steps to specify search filters and time window:
1. Click the Edit Filters and Time Range edit box.
2. Specify the time window:
a. Real time mode – only from the current time onwards.
b. Historical mode – for previous time periods that have already occurred. Select Relative or Absolute
option.
l For the Relative option, the query will run for a duration in the past, starting from current time.
Choose the time scale (Minutes/Hours/Days) and the quantity.
l For the Absolute option, the query will run for a specific time window in the past. There are two
ways to specify this:
l Using two explicitly defined time epochs.
l Using Always prior option to define time-periods such as the previous week or the
previous two months. If you are interested in re-running the same report on a daily basis,
then you do not have to change the time period.
The ANALYTICS view also provides a list of five time range buttons ( ) which appear to the left of the
paginator. They allow you to filter data by the last 15 minutes, 1 hour, 1 day, 7 days, or 30 days.

Hi @mohammedsaad92 ,


There is no limit on report file size, however on number of lines.

 

Please find the maximum limit as given below:
- Events Generated in UI: 1,00,000 lines if not using Group By. And 10,000 if using Group By.

- PDF export: 50,000 lines if not using Group By or displaying Raw Events; 10,000 if using Group By; and 2,000 if displaying Raw Events.

- CSV export: 100,000 lines if not using Group By or displaying Raw Events; 10,000 if using Group By; and 2,000 if displaying Raw Events.

If results exceed these limits, report output will be truncated.

These values would also vary depending upon the columns and number, size of the column data.

@premchanderr @Anthony_E  From an admin perspective, is there any way to pull exports that are not truncated? I've had compliance/audit requests for a ridiculous amount of time wherein a 24 hour query pulled 2+ million results. The auditors want to go through ALL of it.
