Question: 1 / 400

In the context of the stats command, what does 'count' measure?

Counts total unique values of a field.

Counts total occurrences of events for a specified field.

The 'count' function used in the context of the stats command is designed to measure the total occurrences of events for a specified field. This means that when you apply the count function, it tallies how many times a particular value appears in the dataset across all events.

For instance, if you have a field representing user logins and apply the count function, it will give you the total number of login events recorded in the dataset, reflecting how frequently those events occur rather than unique value counts or total event numbers. It's important to differentiate that 'count' is specifically about occurrences within the specified field, as opposed to counting unique values, total events without regard to fields, or fields themselves in the dataset.
