Currently there is no way to export the full root cause analysis (/root-cause-analysis/ pages) information for an outage to PDF like you can with the uptime information. The export to CSV only gives the error not the full trace.
By Paul Parker, SolarWinds Federal & National Government Chief Technologist Here is an interesting article from my colleague Joe Kim, in which he explores database heath and performance.

When it comes to IT, things go wrong from time to time. Servers crash, memory goes bad, power supplies die, files get corrupted, backups get corrupted...there are so many things that can go wrong. When things do go wrong, you work to troubleshoot the issue and end up bringing it all back online as quickly as humanly…

You've probably spent just as much time trying to figure out why things were broken in the first place. As much as we might like to think about things being simple when it comes to IT troubleshooting, the fact of the matter…

In our case, it is important to continue adding knowledge by learning from the mistakes we…

I first thought the title of the post would be something like:” why root cause analysis is your saviour”, but I think knowledge/experience title has more potential, so I’ll stay with Albert… I’ve seen my fair share of companies collecting…
