What Splunk search command is used to calculate aggregate statistics?

The command used to calculate aggregate statistics in Splunk is "stats." This command is specifically designed to perform statistical calculations on the data being queried. When you use the "stats" command, you can generate a variety of statistics, such as counts, sums, averages, minimums, maximums, and more, all in one command. By specifying different aggregation functions, users can create comprehensive summaries of their data, which is essential for analysis and reporting.

In contrast, while "count" and "sum" are functions that can be used within the "stats" command to aggregate data, they do not serve as standalone commands for calculating statistics. "eval" is also a command that is used for calculating expressions and manipulating data but is not specifically focused on aggregate statistics. Understanding the role of the "stats" command is crucial for effective data analysis within Splunk, as it provides powerful capabilities for aggregating and summarizing data efficiently.
