Splunk Exam SPLK-1004 Topic 1 Question 3 Discussion

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.
