Search for Example Events by Field

Hi, I'm trying to search for an example event of different types by field so that I can see the detail of different types of event. So if I do `| stats count by fieldname` and it returns 10 different values for that field, I can see 10 different events in the event view and look at the details of each value of the field. Make sense? Thanks

Thanks - I'm not sure that's quite what I need. If I do `| stats latest(_raw) by fieldname` then I kind of get what I want but it would be good to see the detail in the Events tab rather than the Statistics one so I can use the JSON formatting capabilities for viewing the events.

Not sure if this will help for what you're after, but have you tried fieldsummary
