I have an ingest of logs where 1 field gets updated each time. Let say every minute I receive a logline and the count field holds certain value.  
In Kibana I can select for example the last hour as timeframe. Now I would like to show the value of the count field of the last logged line. (i.e the last document stored in elastic). How can I do this?

Hi @Harold_Van_der_Veken

have you tried to use `Last value` with the Legacy Metric visualization?

I'm using kibana 8.5.3. How or where can I add this legacy visualization?
