Getting XML/CSV Dumps

As of CARMA version 1.4.0.1, clients will be able to easily retrieve dumps of database statistics in both XML and CSV, which are simply languages that organize database information. By using this feature, you can easily export your statistics to Excel, or any software that handles XML or CSV dumps.

To get statistics dumps for your CARMA install, go to the Stats Admin, and click either the "XML Dump" or "CSV Dump" tab at the top of the page. This will bring you to a plain text view of the XML or CSV dump of the current stats display, which you can then import to a program that handles these dumps.
