Is there a way we can display only the latest value in kibana search field ? We need only the latest value to be seen by the users. We then want to use that search to create visualizations.

data :  
**_timestamp": "2016-11-28T20:52:39.492-0500", "name": "ABCD", "appcode": "ABC"_**  
timestamp": "2016-11-28T19:56:23.777-0500", "name": "ABCD", "appcode": "ABC"  
timestamp": "2016-11-28T15:34:11.145-0500", "name": "ABCD", "appcode": "ABC"  
timestamp": "2016-11-28T15:01:54.645-0500", "name": "ABCD", "appcode": "ABC"

query dsl :  
{  
"aggs": {  
"group": {  
"terms": {  
"field": "name"  
},  
"aggs": {  
"group\_docs": {  
"top\_hits": {  
"size": 1,  
"sort": [  
{  
"timestamp": {  
"order": "desc"  
}  
}  
]  
}  
}  
}  
}

Not yet, but there is an active PR being worked on to add a Top Hit metric which would allow you to see the latest value of a given field.
