Creating reports with the Dashboards interface

    CSV reports have a non-configurable 10,000 row limit. They have no explicit size limit (for example, MB), but extremely large documents could cause report generation to fail with an out of memory error from the V8 JavaScript engine.

    To generate a report from the interface:

    1. For dashboards, visualizations, or notebooks, choose Download PDF or Download PNG. If you’re creating a report from the Discover page, choose Generate CSV.

    Reports generate asynchronously in the background and might take a few minutes, depending on the size of the report. A notification appears when your report is ready to download.

    1. To create a schedule-based report, choose Create report definition. Then proceed to . This option pre-fills many of the fields for you based on the visualization, dashboard, or data you were viewing.
    1. From the navigation panel, choose Reporting.
    2. Choose Create.
    3. Under Report settings, enter a name and optional description for your report.
    4. Select your dashboard, visualization, saved search, or notebook. Then choose a time range for the report.
    5. Choose an appropriate file format for the report.
    6. (Optional) Add a header or footer to the report. Headers and footers are only available for dashboard, visualization, and notebook reports.

    7. Under Report trigger, choose either On demand or Schedule.

      For scheduled reports, select either Recurring or Cron based. You can receive reports daily or at some other time interval, and Cron expressions give you more flexibility. See for more information.

    8. Choose Create.

    This problem can occur for two reasons:

    Characters not loading in reports

    You might encounter an issue where UTF-8 encoded characters look fine in your browser, but they don’t load in your generated reports because you’re missing the required font dependencies. Install the , and then generate your reports again.
