CSVDatastore

Introduction

Logs data into a comma-separated values (CSV) file. The delimiter is configurable (default is comma). Note that logged data can't be viewed through CDP Studio Analyze mode, a third-party tool is required to analyze the data.

Configuring the Datastore

PropertyDescription
FileNameName (or path) of the CSV file.
FileSizeLimitMaximum file size of the CSV file in megabytes, use '0' for no limit. When limit is reached, "-old" suffix is appended to file name and a new file is created. When limit is reached again, the previous "old" file is deleted. So available disk space must be at least two times higher than the value set here.
DelimiterDelimiter to use for separating values. Common options are comma (,), tab (\t) and semicolon (;).
TimeFormatSets the timestamp format in the CSV file. Valid values are:
  • ISO-8601 - uses "YYYY:MM:DD hh.mm.ss.sss" format, has millisecond precision.
  • ISO-8601-UTC - same format as ISO-8601 but is not affected by time zone changes and daylight saving time.
  • UnixTime - seconds since 1 Jan 1970. Result is a floating-point number.
  • UnixTimeNs - nanoseconds since 1 Jan 1970.

Viewing Logged Data

Viewing data through CDPLogger built-in server or CDP Studio Analyze mode is not supported. It is recommended to use third-party tools for analyzing CSV data, e.g. Microsoft Excel.
