What would you use the `join` command for?

The join command in Splunk is specifically designed to combine results from two separate search queries based on a common field. This allows for a richer analysis of the data by merging related information from different sources. When you have multiple datasets that share a key attribute, you can leverage the join command to bring together relevant information, effectively allowing you to expand your search results with enriched details.

For instance, if you have one dataset containing user login information and another dataset with user account details, you can use the join command to correlate logins with account-specific data, providing a more comprehensive view. This is especially useful in scenarios where you want to analyze relationships between different datasets.

The other options do not pertain to the specific functionality of the join command, as deleting fields, modifying timestamps, and sorting data are accomplished through different commands or techniques in Splunk. Thus, the capability of the join command to merge datasets based on a shared key is what makes it the appropriate choice in this scenario.
