8.2 Offline Query

An offline query is most often used to run queries against large amounts of data. An offline query
continues to run even after the user logs out of the Sentinel Control Center, if necessary.
NOTE: You can view the result of your query only after it is completely processed.
After the query has completely finished processing, the results are available to the user who initiated
the offline query and other Sentinel users with the same security filter. When you attempt to browse
or save the result as HTML or CSV, the data is transferred from the server to the local machine
running the Sentinel Control Center.
For performance reasons, the result set for offline query is limited to 100,000 records. For better
results, you must specify a better filter or a smaller time range when creating an offline query.
