Export command line interface results

This task allows you to export CLI command results to a CSV file for offline analysis and record keeping.

You can export the results of CLI commands to a comma separated value (.CSV) file, so you can filter and sort the information in it. The exported information contains the following categories:

  • Device

  • Date

  • User

  • Command

  • Output

Procedure

Step 1

Run your commands according to Use the command line interface on a single device, Use the bulk command line interface, or Run a CLI macro, or choose a command from the History pane (The command line interface results display a table with date, user, command, and output information, illustrating how to interpret the data in the .CSV file.).

Step 2

Click the Export results (The command line interface results are displayed in a CSV format, showing the output of the executed command for analysis in spreadsheet applications.) button.

Step 3

Give the .CSV file a descriptive name and save the file to your local file system.

When reading the command output in the .CSV file, expand all the cells to see all the results of the command.

The CLI command results are exported to a CSV file that you can open and analyze using spreadsheet applications for filtering, sorting, and offline review.
