Hello All, I am new to the elk stack and I was working with splunk earlier where we could create csv reports scheduled to email boxes at regular intervals. I am looking similar thing in ELK stack. I discovered watcher but there we can not schedule searches output to csv reports in email section. Can you guys pls help me out here. ---

Thanks Yassine, I see under discover section option to share in csv but generate csv is disabled , does that mean because we are not having x - pack ? ---

No, You need first to save your search query then the export CSv button will be enabled. You will need to enable a trial license in order to use Watcher ---
