Extract existing logs from Analyzer to CSV

How can I extract the existing logs from a fortianalyzer version 7.4.4 to CSV? They are asking me for the last 90 days for a particular analysis.

Within the team there is an adom who receives the 4 fortigates and it is required to obtain this information from all of them.

I tried to do it Through API but the documentation is limited,

Has anyone achieved it?


I don't know if the logs already existing on the computer could be converted to csv in any tool?

Thank you very much for your response.

I thought that downloading in csv was not allowed from the gui.

I apreciate it.
