# Export Events from Patch My PC Cloud

*Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud*

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Important**

Events are only held in the portal for 30 days, after which they are automatically groomed from the database. If you wish to keep events longer than 30 days, you need to export them.
{% endhint %}

To export today's events from Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud, plus the past 29 days of events, click **Export** in the header of the **Events** page.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**

The number in parentheses beside the **Export** button shows how many events will be exported.
{% endhint %}

A CSV file called **events\_log\_entries.csv** is downloaded to your computer. This contains the number of entries shown in parentheses and can then serve as an archive or be imported to another application for onward manipulation.

We export the following:

* Date
* Title
* Architecture
* Installer Type
* User
* Category
* Operation
* Type
* Version
* Description

Here is an example:

{% hint style="success" %}
**Tip**

You can use Filters to control which events you export, rather than exporting all events. See [Filter Events](/patch-my-pc-cloud/events/filter.md) for more information.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.patchmypc.com/patch-my-pc-cloud/events/export.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
