The Data Export page allows you to filter and download historical message data from your Duck mesh network in CSV format for external analysis or archival purposes.

​
Overview

Use the Data Export tool to:
  • Extract specific time ranges of message data
  • Filter by Papa Duck gateways, Mama Duck nodes, and message types
  • Preview and refine data before downloading
  • Export to CSV format for use in spreadsheets or analysis tools

Filter Options

​
Date Range Selection

Select the beginning date and time for your export range. Use the 24-hour time picker to set a precise start time.
Select the ending date and time for your export range. Use the 24-hour time picker to set a precise end time.
Date range limit: Exports are limited to a maximum of 90 days. If you need data for a longer period, create multiple exports with consecutive date ranges.

​
Papa Duck Filter

The multi-select dropdown allows you to choose which Papa Duck gateways to include:
  • All Papa Ducks (default): Leave the selection empty to include all devices
  • Specific Papa Ducks: Select one or more Papa Ducks to filter messages from only those gateways
Filtering by Papa Duck includes all messages from both the Papa Duck itself and its connected Mama Duck devices.

​
Refine Filters

After running a search, two additional filters appear to help you narrow down the results. These filters are populated dynamically based on what was found in your search — only devices and message types actually present in the results will be shown.
Select one or more Mama Duck nodes to show only messages from those specific devices. Leave empty to include all nodes in the results.
Select one or more message types to show only those events. Available types include GPS, Health, Status, Sensor, BMP280, and DHT — only types present in your results will appear.
The record count at the top of the results updates as you apply refine filters, showing how many messages match your current selection versus the total returned (e.g., 42 / 200 messages).
Use Reset to clear all filters and start a new search.

​

After clicking Search, the table displays a preview of your filtered data:
