What command would you use to remove duplicate entries for specific fields in search results?

| unique VendorCity, Vendor
| dedup VendorCity, Vendor
| removeduplicates VendorCity, Vendor
| distinct VendorCity, Vendor

The correct answer is: | dedup VendorCity, Vendor

The use of the dedup command in Splunk is the correct choice for removing duplicate entries based on specified fields in search results. When you apply the dedup command followed by the field names (in this case, VendorCity and Vendor), Splunk processes the results to retain only the first occurrence of each unique combination of values for those fields. This is particularly useful in scenarios where you want to simplify your results by focusing on unique records and eliminate redundancy. Using dedup allows for an efficient way to aggregate and view data without clutter from repeated entries, ensuring that the analysis reflects distinct instances according to the criteria set forth.
