Why each option
The chart command supports both an 'over' clause to define the x-axis field and a 'by' clause to further split results into sub-groupings, creating a multi-series chart.
The chart command syntax accepts 'chart <stats-function> over <x-axis-field> by <split-by-field>', where 'over' defines what field drives the x-axis and 'by' divides results into sub-groups or additional columns. This combination allows chart to produce multi-dimensional tabular results that can be rendered as grouped or stacked visualizations.
The stats command uses 'by' to group results but does not use an 'over' clause; it produces flat aggregated tables rather than chart-oriented x-axis and series splits.
The xyseries command transforms tabular data into a chart-friendly format but does not itself accept 'over' and 'by' as clauses in the same way chart does.
The transaction command groups events using fields, maxspan, or maxpause arguments but does not support 'over' and 'by' clauses for sub-grouping results.
Concept tested: chart command over and by clause sub-grouping
