When using a multivalued field in a search, what does the stats command do by default?

It aggregates the multivalued field as a single value, ignoring the individual values.

It automatically expands the multivalued field into multiple events.

It treats each value in the multivalued field as a separate event.

It can use functions like values() or count() to analyze the multivalued field's individual values.

A new Splunk user asks a senior analyst: 'What is a multivalued field in Splunk?' The senior analyst needs to give an accurate, concise definition. Which statement is correct?

A field that can contain multiple values in a single event, stored as an ordered list.

A field that contains a single value but can be searched with multiple terms.

A field that is created by combining multiple events into one.

A field that is automatically created by Splunk for every event.

An analyst has a field `ip_list` that contains a string like `192.168.1.1;192.168.1.2;192.168.1.3`. The analyst wants to create a multivalued field from this string. Which search correctly creates the multivalued field?

`... | makemv delim=";" ip_list`

`... | eval ip_list = split(ip_list, ";")`

`... | mvexpand delim=";" ip_list`

A network analyst has events with a multivalued field `routes` containing BGP routes. The analyst needs to create a timechart showing the number of events per route over time. However, the analyst also needs to keep the original events intact for a separate analysis. Which search correctly produces the timechart without modifying the original data?

`... | mvexpand routes | timechart count by routes`

`... | eval route_count=mvcount(routes) | timechart sum(route_count) by routes`

`... | mvexpand routes | stats count by _time, routes`

`... | timechart count by routes`
