An analyst sees a suspicious event in the data table on the Explore page. They need to see the full value of a field called `process.command_line` which is truncated in the table. What is the most direct way to view the complete value?

Click on the event row to expand it and view all field values, including the full `process.command_line`.

Hover over the truncated value in the data table to see a tooltip with the full value.

Click on the field name in the data table header and select 'Show full value'.

Use the KQL query `process.command_line: *` to see all events with that field and then look for the specific event.

An analyst wants to see a breakdown of security events by the `event.category` field to understand which types of events are most common in their environment. They are on the Explore page with a broad time range selected. What is the most efficient way to see this breakdown?

Click on the `event.category` field in the data table header and select 'Group by this field'.

Use the KQL query `event.category: *` and then sort the data table by the `event.category` column.

Use the KQL query `event.category: * | top event.category by count`.

In the field panel, find the `event.category` field and click the 'Visualize' button to add a top values visualization.
