Exporting a trend graph

To export a trend graph:

  1. Right-click the graph and select Export to CSV.

    This will open an export window.

  2. If you are exporting a graph where several curves are displayed, at the top of the export window, select which curves you want to include in the export.

  3. Under Data to be exported, select whether all data should be included ("Everything") or a custom data set. For a custom data set, you can select the type of trending (e.g. real-time, 5-minute interval, 60-minute interval) and the time span.

  4. Optionally, select additional options for the export. From DataMiner 10.2.2/10.3.0 onwards, these options are available in an expandable Advanced options section.

    • Line graph instead of block graph: Exports one value per timestamp, which will allow you to draw a line graph. Values in the export are shifted so that they are located in the middle of each time slot. So, for instance, if you have a point at 09:05:00 and at 09:10:00, the export will contain one point at 09:07:30. If you do not select this option, two values are exported per timestamp, which will allow you to draw a block graph. From DataMiner 10.2.2/10.3.0 onwards, this option does not include intermediary points in the export. To include those, select Fixed interval.

    • Fixed interval: Available from DataMiner 10.2.2/10.3.0 onwards. Select this option to have data points distributed equally and to ignore gaps smaller than the average trending interval.

      Note

      This option is only available for double, number or analog parameters, and only for average trend data. This means that type 5-minute interval or 60-minute interval must be selected under Data to be exported.

    • Exclude gaps: Available from DataMiner 10.0.12 onwards. Select this option to skip any gaps in the trend data in the export. This option is automatically selected if Fixed interval is selected.

  5. Click Save.

Note

Up to DataMiner 10.0.2, the line graph is a reduced format containing only one value per timestamp. From DataMiner 10.0.3 onwards, the line graph is no longer considered a reduced format and intermediary points are added if no data is available at certain timestamps (which can happen when a value remained constant).
