Explanation:

In Splunk, a field alias is used to create an alternative name for an existing field, making it easier to refer to data in a consistent manner across different searches and reports. Field aliases can be applied to both calculated fields and extracted fields. Calculated fields are those that are created using eval expressions, while extracted fields are typically those parsed from the raw data at index time or search time. This flexibility allows users to streamline their searches by using more intuitive field names without altering the underlying data. Field aliases cannot be applied to data in a lookup table, specific individual fields within a dataset, or directly to a host, source, or sourcetype.
