+
+The "detected-fields" command will return information about fields detected using either
+the "logfmt" or "json" parser against the log lines returned by the provided query for the
+provided time range.
+
+The "detected-fields" command will output extra information about the query
+and its results, such as the API URL, set of common labels, and set
+of excluded labels. This extra information can be suppressed with the
+--quiet flag.
+
+By default we look over the last hour of data; use --since to modify
+or provide specific start and end times with --from and --to respectively.
+
+Notice that when using --from and --to then ensure to use RFC3339Nano
+time format, but without timezone at the end. The local timezone will be added
+automatically or if using  --timezone flag.
+
+Example:
+

+
+The output is limited to 100 fields by default; use --field-limit to increase.
+The query is limited to processing 1000 lines per subquery; use --line-limit to increase.
