What would the command ... | field - percent do to your results?

Adds a column for percentages.
Removes the column showing percentages.
Displays only percentage fields.
Aggregates data by percentage.

The correct answer is: Removes the column showing percentages.

The command `| field - percent` in Splunk is used specifically to alter the output of search results by removing a designated field from the displayed results. In this case, "percent" refers to a field that contains percentage values. When this command is executed, it effectively eliminates the column associated with the "percent" field from the search results. This can be particularly useful when you want to declutter your results or you're only interested in the remaining fields. Other options, such as adding a column, displaying only percentage fields, or aggregating data by percentage, do not accurately reflect the function of the `field -` command. The command does not add or manipulate data other than removing the specified field, which is why the focus on its sole purpose is essential for understanding its utility within Splunk searches.
