Export An Audit Trail

In the first step of this guide, we've learned how to setup a simple Audit Trail Page that gives you instant access to the stream of audit trail events from within your HMI.

While the Audit Trail Page provides instant access, complex debugging and in-depth auditing often require more advanced analysis tools. CSV (Comma-Separated Values) export offers a powerful solution, enabling you to take your event stream and analyze it using spreadsheet software, data analysis tools, or custom processing scripts.

HELIO offers the Export Audit Trail Action to achieve this behavior. Let's find out how we can make use of it…


  1. Explore the Audit Trail Page

By default, HELIO includes an Export button on each Audit Trail Page. This button is configured to execute the Export Audit Trail Action, so you can get started right away. Open the Content View of your project, visit the audit trail page, and check its footer:

  1. Create a Sample Export

Click the Export button to open a dialog that lets you specify the time frame for your export.

Select a timeframe, click Export, and HELIO will download a CSV file containing all the events that occurred within the specified timeframe.


Mission accomplished!

Amazing! You've set up your Audit Trail page, tracked a variety of events, and can even export the audit trail for analysis. Great job!
