Which XQL command is used to rename a field in the output results dataset?
2When utilizing the 'compact' or 'dedup' commands in an XQL query, an analyst notices that certain fields are missing from the resulting dataset. Why does this behavior occur?
3Which XQL command restricts the fields included in the final output to only those explicitly specified?
4An analyst needs to query all endpoint events in XQL where the action type is explicitly equal to 'PROCESS_START'. Which XQL syntax correctly applies this filter?
