Question

How do I see a sample of my data?

Answer

1. Go to Act > Data Access Console > EventStore.
2. Select a stream and how many weeks of data you want to view.
   
3. Click Reload.
4. Expand the files for a given day then download a sample .gzip file.
   

The downloaded files are of format .gzip so they will need to be uncompressed. The respective uncompressed file is of type file log/document and can be opened with any type of text editing tool.
