Chapter 2 Basic Concepts
What Basic Functions Can I Perform in Cisco MGM?
2.2.2 Filtering Data
Filter dialog boxes filter user-specified data. Many Cisco MGM tables have Filter dialog boxes that
enable you to filter data in different ways and display the results in a table.
2.2.3 Exporting Data
Most Cisco MGM tables support an export function to export the table contents to a flat file. The Export
dialog box allows you to export the data as comma-separated values (CSVs) or tab-separated values
(TSVs), which are formats commonly used to import data into spreadsheet and database applications for
further analysis and manipulation. Click the Other radio button if you want to separate the Cisco MGM
data values with a different character. If you specify a character as a separator and your data contains
the same character, the character in the data is automatically enclosed in double quotes. This allows the
spreadsheet or database application to understand that the character is part of your data. Regardless of
whether you select Comma-Separated, Tab-Separated, or Other, Cisco MGM automatically encloses text
in double quotes if it has a separator.
Note If you export data to Microsoft Excel, save the exported file with “.csv” as the filename extension.
To export only the selected row(s), click the Selected row(s) radio button. To export all rows in the page,
click the All rows in current page radio button.
By default, exported data is stored in the C:\Cisco\CiscoMGMClient<version_number>\exports or
/opt/CiscoMGM<version_number>/exports directory under the name that you provide in the “Export
data to file” text box. Click Browse to change the file location.
Note The default directory /opt/CiscoMGMServer may have been changed during installation of the
Cisco MGM server.
2.2.4 Exporting Alarms and Events
In addition to exporting directly from the Alarm Browser or the Alarm Log, Cisco MGM provides an
Event Export Manager that allows you to export alarms and events as they occur to the file of your
choice. You can also set various export parameters to refine the export. You can choose to export events
continuously or to export a specific number of events.
To export events continuously, in the Diagnostic Center, choose Fault > Event Export Manager, then
click Start Export.
The Event Export Manager will export events continuously until you click Stop Export, or until the
current Cisco MGM session ends, whichever occurs first.
To export a specific number of events, check the Stop export when check box, enter a number of
records, and click Start Export. The export will stop after the specified number of events are logged.
Table 2-9 describes the fields in the Event Export window.
