Crawl Diagnostics - Historical Summary
-
As we've been fixing errors on our website, the crawl diagnostic graphs have been showing great results (top left to bottom right for errors).
The problem is the graphs themselves aren't very pretty. I can't use them in my internal reports (all internal reports are standardised colours/formats).
Is there anyway of exporting the top level summary with historic data so the graphs can be recreated in company colours? I don't want the detailed CSV breakdown of what errors occurred, but rather than on X date there were Y errors, the next month Z errors and so forth.
The data must already be in the SEOMoz system in order to create the graphs themselves - I was hoping this can be made available to us if it isn't already?
Does anyone know if there is already a way of doing this? I've tried to 'inspect element' and find the underlying data in the source code but to no avail, and can't see any exports that would do this.
Thanks in advance

Hi Dean,
Thanks for writing in with a great question. Unfortunately, we don't have a way to export the graph data for your historical crawls. When we complete a crawl, we add the data point to the graph, but when the next crawl completes, we replace the old crawl information. The data point remains on the graph, but we don't have the exact number for the errors, warning or notices stored in our system any longer. I really apologize for the inconvenience this causes.
It would definitely be helpful if we retained this information in more detail in the future, so I would recommend submitting a request to our Feature Request forum. Here's the forum we use to collect requests:
http://seomoz.zendesk.com/forums/293194-seomoz-pro-feature-requestsYou can add your request for an exportable history of the crawl diagnostics and vote for other features you'd like to see, both of which help our product team in deciding what to build next. Add your request there and hopefully we'll see it come to fruition sometime down the line.
I'm sorry that we don't have a better solution for you at this time. Please let me know if I can help you with anything else.
