Downloading csv of switch logs seems to ignore filter parameters

[combobulated]

Hello all,

We have a need to download switch event logs for a few specific switches.  When I put the switch name in the filter field I see only the logs for that switch, but when I download the events to CSV I get logs for a ton of unrelated switches.  I tried this several times and I get the same problem each time.  Am I missing something or is the download-to-csv feature broken?

Limitations of CSV/XML Reports

Downloading client information is made easy through the use of the Dashboard.

When on the client page for any Meraki product there is an option to download the current information on the right hand side of Dashboard. This information can be downloaded as either a .CSV file or .XML file. Note: Systems Manager can only be downloaded as a .CSV file.

Please refer to the list below for all the information that can be obtained through this method. Note that there is currently no way to add/remove fields from the report.

Thank you. So this means that the filter parameters are only applied to the dashboard screen display and not the downloaded .csv file?

Looks broken to me

Hello!

Do you mind opening a case with Meraki Support? An NSE can help with scoping and identifying this known issue.

i have the same issue now, it worked in May correctly as i downloaded many csv with filter options

Please open a case with Meraki Support so they can identify and attach it to the parent bug and inform you when a resolution is available.
