Convert to CSV
format
Downloads the log format as a comma-separated value (.csv) file
instead of a standard .log file. Each log element is separated by
a comma. CSV files can be viewed in spreadsheet applications.
Compress with gzip Compress the .log or .csv file with gzip compression. For
example, downloading a log-formatted file with gzip compression
would result in a download with the file extension .log.gz.
