What is the purpose of using event types in searches?

To exclude events from search results

To speed up search performance by pre-indexing events

To simplify searches by using a name instead of a complex search string

To automatically generate reports from matching events

An analyst has an event type named 'login_success' defined as `event_action=success`. They want to count how many login successes occurred per user in the last 24 hours. Which search correctly uses the event type?

`sourcetype=login_success | stats count by user`

`index=* event_action=success | eventtype=login_success | stats count by user`

`eventtype=login_success | stats count by user | earliest=-24h`

`eventtype=login_success earliest=-24h | stats count by user`
