Which of the following fields are provided by the fieldsummary command? (select all that apply)

Acount

Bstdev

Cmean

Ddc

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, D

The fieldsummary command in Splunk generates statistical summaries of fields in the search results, including the count of events that contain the field (count) and the distinct count of field values (dc). These summaries provide insights into the prevalence and distribution of fields within the dataset, which can be valuable for understanding the data's structure and content. Standard deviation (stdev) and mean (mean) are not directly provided by fieldsummary but can be calculated using other commands like stats for fields that contain numerical data.

Let me guess, 'dc' stands for 'Definitely Confusing'. Gotta love these certification exams, always trying to trip you up with obscure options.

Hmm, this one's a bit tricky. I'm pretty sure the fieldsummary command gives you count, stdev, and mean. But 'dc'? That's a new one on me.

The fieldsummary command is super useful for getting quick stats on your data. I'd say A, B, and C are the obvious choices here.

I would go with A, B, and C as well. They give a good overview of the data.

Ah, the classic 'select all that apply' question. Let's see, count, stdev, and mean - that's a no-brainer. But 'dc'? Sounds like some kind of secret government agency.
