To start, I am a noob and am working in the Kibana interface for the system my company setup so I have standard user type rights. I have searched high and low and can't seem to find an answer to this. I have a bunch of indexes from daily imports that span the last 3 months. They are named idx\_storage\_all\__date of import_ where the date of import is 2020.01.01, 2020.01.02, etc... The index pattern i created was idx\_storage\_all\* and it is great for time series charts. I would like to have a pattern that grabs just the newest dated doc to report on the data as of the last import and cant seem to find out how to do this. I tried using the last import as of a few days ago and when i go into the dash, it still shows data from that date and not yesterdays import. I tried to use the time field at top of the dashboard and I cant figure out how to get the last date. I tried something like 1d-now and depending on the time of the last import I may miss it if it happened say an hour ago. So basically I want to be able to get the most current import if that makes sense? Can someone point me to some documentation that explains what I want to do as I am not finding it. Thx! Mike... ---

I don't think this is achievable with index patterns, but there might be other ways of doing this. I would have expected that the time range `now-1d` to `now` would be right for this: why isn't that working? ---
