Bulk data export

The bulk data export feature provides data from a staging area that maintains the performance data with full integrity in a compressed format.

The staging area is constrained by size (it cannot hold more than the server disk space can afford) and by time (it stores data for approximately 24 hours, and then the new data replaces the old data).

The Administration > Data sharing settings > Bulk data export page enables you to control the staging area and customize the selection of data that is persisted in the staging area for export purposes. The page provides statistics for the current state of the staging area, as well as for any active exports.

The staging area is a persistent store, which means that its contents will survive a reboot of the appliance. Due to buffering issues, data can take as long as five minutes to appear in the staging area after it was seen on the network.
