Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

✓
transaction session_id
The `transaction` command is designed to group related events based on common fields and time constraints, making it ideal for combining login and logout events by session_id.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
join session_id
Why it's wrong here
join requires two separate search results and is inefficient for this use case.
- ✗
stats by session_id
Why it's wrong here
stats aggregates values but does not preserve original event details as a single event.
- ✓
transaction session_id
Why this is correct
Correctly groups events by session_id into a single transaction event.
- ✗
append session_id
Why it's wrong here
append adds results from a subsearch, not for grouping events.
