Splunk Core Certified User Practice Exam

Which command would you use to display the most common values in a specific field?

1. top

2. all

3. table

4. rare

The correct answer is: top

The command used to display the most common values in a specific field is indeed the "top" command. This command aggregates and displays the most frequently occurring values from a specified field in your data. It presents the results in a straightforward format, allowing for easy identification of common trends or patterns in the dataset. The other commands serve different purposes. For instance, "all" is not a standard Splunk command and therefore does not apply here. The "table" command is used to format results into a table for better visualization, but it does not specifically highlight the frequency of values. The "rare" command, on the other hand, identifies the least common values in a field, which is the opposite of what is being asked in this context. Thus, choosing "top" is the perfect fit for displaying the most common values in a field.
