Data Export

Export your Duck network data to a CSV file for analysis, logging, or integration with other systems.

🔍 Overview

The Data Export tool in OWL DMS lets you extract recorded network data within a custom date range and optionally filter it by specific PapaDucks. Once selected, you can preview the data and export it as a .csv file.

🧭 How It Works

1. Select Time Range

Choose your start and end dates using the built-in date and time picker.

⏱️ Time selection is precise to the minute.

Only data within this range will be shown in the preview and exported.

2. Select PapaDucks (Optional)

You can filter the export by one or more PapaDucks:

Select from the dropdown list.

If left blank, the export will include data from all PapaDucks in your network.

ℹ️ PapaDucks act as gateways in your mesh and collect the data from all other Ducks.

3. Preview the Data

Click Preview Data to view a table of results:

Columns include: Papa ID, Device ID, Event Type, Date, Message ID, Payload, and # of Hops.

Up to 10 entries are shown per page by default.

Total record count is displayed above the preview.

4. Export to CSV

Once satisfied with the preview:

Click Export CSV to download the full dataset.

The export respects the selected time range and filter criteria.

Output is standard .csv and can be used in Excel, Google Sheets, or any data processing tool.

✅ Tips

For large exports, start with smaller date ranges to ensure performance.

You can re-download data at any time.

If no data appears in the preview, check your date range or device selection.
