GET Request to for the most recent event always returning the same thing

[Ben_Hoffman]

Hello there, I am having some trouble getting the most recent event from my GET request. Here is the curl that I am using:

  curl localhost:9200/packetbeat-2017.01.26/_search?pretty=true -d '

{
"query": {
"match_all": {}
},
"size": 1,
"sort": [{
"@timestamp": {
"order": "desc"
}
}]
}

SOLVED: I needed an '@' symbol instead of an "_" in from of the "timestamp" field.

This ALWAYS returns the same thing. I also tried in ascending order, and I really don't know what the deal with this is. All that I want is the info from the most recent event to happen. Please help me out

This ALWAYS returns the same thing

What do you mean by this? What does it return?
