I'm using kibana data table visualization, I can export csv file from the button below the table but is there a way to automate this process to happen each day for example? I saw a previous topic [automated csv file generation](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/automated-csv-file-generation/183752) but it was in the discover panel and I am working on data table visualization so I weren't able to find an option that says 'Copy POST URL', thanks in advance.

@LizaD thanks for you reply, anyway after many searching I found that the only way is to re-write the aggregation in cURL and automate requesting it from terminal on the server
