Export all result rows for a specific scheduled query execution as a downloadable file. The response is a streaming file attachment in the requested format.

Path parameters

space_id string optional

An identifier for the space. If space_id is not provided in the URL, the default space is used. Refer to Spaces for more information.

scheduleId string required

The schedule ID of the scheduled query.

Example: 90f342ee-9c05-4844-849b-173993234f22
executionCount integer · min: 0 required

The execution counter for the scheduled query run whose results are exported. Must be a non-negative integer.

Query parameters

format enum required

The output format of the exported file.

Values: ndjson json csv

Request body

agentIds string[] nullable

An optional allowlist of Elastic Agent IDs. When provided, only rows reported by the listed agents are included in the export.

esFilters object[] nullable

An optional array of Elasticsearch / Kibana SearchBar filter objects (the same esFilters payload used by the Discover UI). Each filter is applied as an additional AND clause. An invalid filter object causes a 400 response rather than silently returning unfiltered data.

kuery string nullable

An optional KQL filter appended (with AND) to the base action/schedule filter. The filter is wrapped in parentheses so it cannot override or escape the built-in action_id / schedule_id gate.

Responses

A downloadable file in the requested format. The Content-Disposition header contains the suggested filename.

application/json
_meta object required

Metadata block produced for every export. Included as _meta in the JSON response body and as the first NDJSON line.

action_id string required

The action ID (live query) or schedule ID (scheduled query) that produced the results.

csv_columns string[] nullable

For CSV exports with ECS mapping and zero hits: the column header row so an empty export is not a 0-byte file.

execution_count integer nullable

For scheduled query exports only: the execution counter of the scheduled run that produced the results.

exported_by string required

Username of the Kibana user who triggered the export.

format enum required

The output format for the exported file. Use ndjson for streaming newline-delimited JSON (recommended for large exports), json for a single JSON array (held in memory; suitable for smaller result sets), or csv for a comma-separated values file with a header row derived from the ECS mapping.

Values: ndjson json csv
query string nullable

The SQL query text, if it could be resolved from action details.

timestamp string · format: date-time required

ISO 8601 timestamp of when the export was initiated.

total_results integer nullable

Total number of result rows included in this export.

results object[] required

Response headers

Content-Disposition string

Attachment disposition with a generated filename, e.g. attachment; filename="osquery-scheduled-results-{scheduleId}-{executionCount}-{timestamp}.csv".

403

The authenticated user does not have the osquery-read privilege required to export scheduled query results.
