   A Falcon Hunter is investigating a series of failed logon attempts across multiple domains. The raw event data contains fields like `AuthenticationPackage`, `LogonProcessName`, and `TargetUserName`, but the hunter finds the default column layout cluttered and difficult to scan for patterns. The hunter needs to share a concise summary of the top targeted usernames with a non-technical manager who prefers a simple spreadsheet. Which approach best satisfies both the readability and sharing requirements?

   • AUse the Event Search UI to hide less relevant fields, rename key fields using aliases, and then export the filtered results as CSV.
   • BExport the raw JSON output directly and instruct the manager to parse it with a text editor.
   • CRun the search again and manually copy the visible fields into an email without any export.
   • DCreate a chart of the top usernames and export the chart as a PNG image file.

   A Falcon Hunter is preparing a report for a legal team that requires a timestamp in a specific format (e.g., `YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS`) for all events. The raw event data has timestamps in a Unix epoch format. The hunter needs to provide the data in a way that is both readable for the legal team and suitable for further analysis. Which approach is most appropriate?

   • AHide the timestamp field and provide a separate document explaining how to convert Unix timestamps.
   • BUse a formatting function in the query to convert the Unix epoch timestamps to the required format, and then export the results as CSV.
   • CExport the raw data as JSON and let the legal team convert the timestamps themselves.
   • DCreate a chart with the raw Unix timestamps on the x-axis.

   A Falcon Hunter is analyzing a query that returns events with a field named `CommandLine` that contains very long strings, making the results table difficult to read. The hunter wants to focus on the first 50 characters of this field to quickly compare commands, and also wants to see a count of how many times each truncated command appears. Which approach should the hunter take?

   • AUse a function to extract a substring of the CommandLine field, then group by the new field and count the events.
   • BCreate a pie chart of the full CommandLine field values.
   • CHide the CommandLine field entirely and rely on other fields for analysis.
   • DExport the full data to CSV and use a text editor's find feature to compare commands.
