Saving and Exporting AdInsight Data
Chapter 9 Active Directory Utilities 305
To save all data captured by AdInsight, choose Save or Save As from the File menu. The
default extension for AdInsight’s native file format is .wit; this file format preserves all the
data that was captured with full fidelity so that it can be loaded into AdInsight on the same
system or on a different one at a later time. To open a saved AdInsight file, press Ctrl+O or
choose Open from the File menu.
To save AdInsight data as a text file, press Ctrl+Alt+S or choose Export To Text File from the
File menu. AdInsight exports the data as a tab-delimited ANSI text file with column headers,
with each row representing one event. AdInsight asks whether you want to export all column
data or only data from the columns selected for display. If you select the Include Detailed
Information option, data from the Details Pane is appended to the event as additional tabdelimited
fields. Note that only the first of these additional columns will have a column
header.
To copy a row of text from the Event Pane or the Details Pane to the Windows clipboard,
select the row and press Ctrl+C. Data in the visible columns is copied to the clipboard as
tab-delimited text.
Finally, you can use AdInsight to view HTML-formatted reports of the captured events in your
Web browser. Choose HTML Reports in the View menu and then one of the following report
types:
■ Events This report produces an HTML report containing data from the visible columns
in the Event Pane, with one row per event. Data in the Request column is rendered as
a hyperlink to documentation about the function on the MSDN Library Web site. Note
that if you have a significant amount of data, this report can be quite large and can
take a long time for a browser to render.
■ Events with Details This report shows the same information as the Events report, but
it adds a table beneath each event row showing the content of the Details Pane for that
event.
■ Event Time Results This report produces a histogram report of the LDAP calls in the
Event Pane, the number of times each one was called, the total time for all the calls,
the longest duration of any one of the calls, and the average time per call. To include
all LDAP functions in the report, including those that were not called and captured by
AdInsight, choose Preferences from the Options menu and deselect Suppress Uncalled
Functions In Reports.
■ Highlighted Events This report is the same as the Events With Details report, but it
includes only events that are currently highlighted.
