What type of search must be run to display the instant pivot button?

  1. Transforming search

  2. Non-transforming search

  3. Static search

  4. Real-time search

The correct answer is: Non-transforming search

To display the instant pivot button in Splunk, a non-transforming search is required. Non-transforming searches are those that do not change the structure of the data returned; instead, they allow users to view the raw events or results as they are without any aggregation. This type of search, often used to explore or browse data, provides users with the ability to easily pivot and drill down into the data using the instant pivot feature. It acts as a foundation for further analysis where users can quickly visualize trends and patterns within the data. In contrast, transforming searches aggregate data for statistical analysis, which would not allow the instant pivot button to be available, since the structure of the results would not be conducive to exploring raw event data in a pivot table format. Static searches and real-time searches also do not directly influence the availability of the instant pivot; however, it's the defining feature of a non-transforming search that facilitates instant pivot functionality.
