What does the *rare* command return?

The most common field values of a given field.
The least common field values of a given field.
The most recent field values of a given field.
The average field values of a given field.

The correct answer is: The least common field values of a given field.

The rare command in Splunk is designed to return the least common field values for a specified field within the search results. When using the rare command, it effectively counts the occurrences of each unique value within the field and identifies those that appear the least frequently. This functionality is particularly useful for uncovering outliers or infrequent events in your dataset. By focusing on the least common occurrences, users can gain insights into unusual events or rare patterns that may require further investigation. This contrasts with other commands such as top, which would return the most common values instead. Understanding the application of the rare command helps in exploring data variation and anomalies, enriching the analytical capabilities when working with Splunk.
