Export log data
Export data downloads the results of an Explore V2 query as a CSV or TSV file. Use it to share investigation results outside Coralogix, run analysis in spreadsheets or notebooks, archive a snapshot for compliance, or hand off log samples to teammates without a Coralogix login.
Choose a data-selection mode
Choose based on how you plan to use the file:
- Pick Grid columns when you want a clean CSV or TSV that opens cleanly in Excel or Google Sheets. Each visible column becomes a column in the file.
- Pick All logs when you need every field per log for analysis or archival. The file is denser and not optimized for spreadsheets.
If in doubt, Grid columns is the safer default.
How to export
- Run a query in Explore V2 so the grid contains the logs you want.
- Open Export data from the actions in the top-right corner.
- Choose a data-selection mode (Grid columns or All logs).
- Choose CSV or TSV.
- Adjust the log count if needed. Default and cap are both 10,000.
- Select Export. The file downloads to your browser.

| Supported formats | CSV and TSV only. JSON, JSONL, and Parquet are not supported. |

Troubleshoot
| Problem | Cause | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| File contains fewer logs than expected | The query returned more than 10,000 logs and the export was capped. | Refine the query or shorten the time range to fit within 10,000 logs, or run multiple exports across smaller windows. |
| Spreadsheet shows JSON in cells | All logs was selected. | Re-export with Grid columns for a flat file. |
| Special characters break the spreadsheet layout | The data contains commas that conflict with the CSV separator. | Re-export with TSV. |
| Export is empty | The query returned no results. | Adjust the query, filters, or time range so the grid shows results before exporting. |
| Browser download is interrupted | The dialog was closed or the page navigated away during export. | Stay on the dialog until the file finishes downloading. |
