Description Direct Docs Feedback 2023-06-27 20:36:36 UTC

The format of this .CSV file is awful. There are line-feeds or carriage returns that break up the flow of information throughout the entire document, making it basically unusable without tremendous modification and review. There are also values that are obviously corrupted. For example, line 4 is completely nonsensical at the end:
'aodh_api,TCP,13042,"AODH Alarming Configuration Public API.llow'

Comment 1 James Smith 2023-06-28 18:36:16 UTC

Hello bug reporter! Thank you for the feedback.
I'm surprised to see that the file gets saved as .txt instead of .csv. I will look into that.
When I open it with two of the widely available, no-cost spreadsheet applications it looks good.
I will update the doc to clarify that it is intended to be viewed as a spreadsheet.
