File List Export
For Hitachi Storage Viewer for File Analytics, the File List Exporter provides a mechanism for extracting the Storage Viewer for File Analytics collected metadata into a comma-separated values (.csv) file, enabling further analysis of files that may be wasting storage. Up to 20K rows can be exported to this CSV file. See
File List Export Output in CSV Format.
From the Portal toolbar, choose Tools > File List > Export.
In addition to accessing this tool using the Tools menu list, several Storage Viewer for File Analytics reports include a check box that launches the File List Exporter:
• Usage by Owner
• File Sizes
• File Types
• File Categories
The File List Export window lists the export processes that are currently in progress, as well as those that are available for download.
Note: If you select an export process that is in a Processing state and then click Delete, the request will be removed from the list and the current processing will be terminated.
To initiate a File List Export process, click New Export Request and enter the filtering criteria for the files to be investigated.
