Hi, Can someone please say if there is a way to export logs from Kibana just like we have it in Splunk? Thanks ---

You can export any Saved Searches from Discover. This is available in 6.x with X-Pack installed (free basic license). After creating a Saved Search, exporting can be found under **Reporting \> Generate CSV** : ![24%20PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/e/d/ed919180e252be28ce72fe0bfeaa1e8bf92895e6.png) CSV outputs can be downloaded in **Management \> Reporting**. ---

Thanks Jen. Is it not possible in Kibana under 6.x? ---

There are some patches for CSV export for 5.6.x, linked in this thread: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/1992](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/1992) You can also export Visualizations, which is available in older versions like Kibana 4. This doesn't export all the raw data, just the summary responses, but may be sufficient for some use cases: > [@How to make a table like Excel sheet with Kibana?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-make-a-table-like-excel-sheet-with-kibana/25687/6): > > Yeah, export of data tables from Discover is still on the roadmap: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/1992](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/1992) However, if you can create a useful summary of that data in Visualize, you can export that today: ---

Thank Jen. I've gone through [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/1992](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/1992). I am using Kibana 5.6.7, is there any patch specific to Kibana 5.6.7? Also, can you please share on how to install patch? Thanks ---

If it is possible for you to upgrade, there is a 5.6.8 patch: [https://github.com/fbaligand/kibana/releases/tag/v5.6.8-csv-export](https://github.com/fbaligand/kibana/releases/tag/v5.6.8-csv-export) [Here are the installation steps from the thread.](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/1992#issuecomment-328200074) ---

Thank Jen. But, I've already upgraded twice. If I have to upgrade it would be third time and involves some work. So, there's nothing for version 5.6.7? ---

You could ping Fabien/@fbaligand on the same thread and he may be able to provide one for 5.6.7. (Thank you Fabien for contributing!) ---
