What should you do if the FX command does not extract any fields from your events?

Increase the number of fields specified in the FX command.

Remove the quotes from the delimiter specification.

Verify that the delimiter you specified matches the delimiter in the raw events.

Use the `| rex` command instead, as FX is unreliable.

After running the FX command, what is the most direct way to verify that the extracted fields are correct?

Inspect the search results to see if the new fields appear with the expected values.

Use the `| rex` command to compare the extracted fields.

Check the Splunk logs for any error messages from the FX command.

Run the `| fieldsummary` command to see a summary of all fields.

An analyst runs `index=main | fx status from _raw delimiter=","` and sees that the `status` field is extracted, but the value includes extra whitespace: `status= 200 `. The analyst wants to remove the leading and trailing spaces. Which command should be added to the search?

`| eval status=replace(status, " ", "")`
