How many results are shown by default when using a Top or Rare command?

The Top and Rare commands in Splunk are designed to retrieve and display the most frequently occurring values or the least frequently occurring values within a specified field. By default, when you execute these commands, Splunk presents the top or rare values based on a limit commonly set at 10 results. This default behavior aligns with the need to balance performance and usability, providing a snapshot of the most or least common items without overwhelming users with excessive data.

Adjustments can be made to alter this default limit; however, without those modifications, Splunk will display 10 results. This understanding is crucial for effectively utilizing these commands during data analysis tasks in Splunk.
