I have a search that should be fairly simple, and cannot figure out how to do it.  
I want to show the latest result for a string one per hostname. Want to do this in KQL if possible.

I don't think you'll be able to on Discover - because we're grouping on hostname we'll need to use aggregations.

Using the data table visualization you'll want to the Y axis metric using top hits, sorted on timestamp, On the x axis, a terms aggregation on hostname. The search string can be included in the search bar. Is that closer to what you're looking for?
