Hi all,

I am trying to get the latest document based on a field

example  
'''  
container\_id state time  
1 A 2pm  
1 B 1pm  
1 C 6pm  
2 A 3pm  
2 B 6pm  
2 C 2pm

solution I want to display in Kibana is

state count  
A 0  
B 1 (current container state for container id 2)  
C 1 (current container state for container id 2)  
'''  
How do I do this in Kibana?

You can get the latest document by using "top hits" metric. In the example below I am using a top hits metric aggregation to show the `timestamp` field for the last document sorted on the `timestamp` field.

Hi Nathan ,

thank you. there needs to be another level of aggregation which is container\_id in my example above and show the count of each state.

What I actually need is

Staged 10  
Stacked 4  
Loaded 8

where 10 containers have a current state (based on latest timestamp) of Staged  
4 have Stacked  
8 have Loaded
