Export Astro reporting data

public preview

This feature is in Public Preview.

As an Astro administrator, you can export reporting data to share with other team members or to keep a record of key performance indicators. Astro supports several different methods for exporting reporting data based on how and when you want to receive the data. Specifically, you can export data:

• Manually through the Astro UI.
• On a regular schedule.
• Whenever a certain condition is met, such as a metric reaching a specific threshold. This is known as a dashboard alert.

When you export reporting data, Astro exports the last one million rows of data from a specific dashboard in the file format of your choice. Use this document to learn about the different ways you can trigger the export process.

A dashboard alert contains a message and a data export that Astro sends when specific criteria are met in one of your reporting metrics. Use dashboard alerts to quickly receive messages and data when your metrics reach a specific threshold, such as when task failures exceed a certain amount.
