Hi @tdigeser91 have you seen the documentation here: https://if.greensoftware.foundation/users/how-to-export-csv-file-with-if-csv ?

You have to explicitly state which metrics you want to export to csv and pass their names to the --params command.

Hi @jmcook1186 many thanks for the documentation. I already saw that the last days. I wanted also to know if I can export more than one parameter in one cmd?

[jmcook1186]

Hi, no it's one param at a time I'm afraid.
It would make a great first issue for someone to make it accept multiple params...!

Just another question: How can I get the outputs of the used plugins as a csv export?

[jmcook1186]

Well, each plugin adds or updates some known value to the outputs array. So you'd just have to identify which plugin outputs you are interested in and expert them by name.
