Please format your code using `</>` icon as explained in [this guide](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21) and not the citation button. It will make your post more readable.

Or use markdown style like:

````
```
CODE
```

````

Please edit your post.

I moved your question to #kibana as I think you want to export from the UI not from the CLI.

Note that there is a CSV export available in xpack (commercial plugin).
