I am using kibana 4.0 and elastic search 1.5  
I want to get the latest set of documents if there are identical documents.  
Is it possible?  
eg. This is my set of document.

{"Name": "Sunil", "Org":"xyz" }  
{"Name": "Sunil", "Org":"xyz"}  
{"Name": "Mohan", "Org":"abc" }

Here you can see that the first two documents are identical. So in the kibana chart, is it possible to consider only one of this entry.ie the document {"Name": "Sunil", "Org":"xyz" } should be plotted only once.

Kindly guide.

Thanks & Regards  
Sunil

I had the same problem with "status-logs" of some compnents.

_{"Name":" **CompA**", "Timestamp":"November 27th 2015, 10:08:03.443", "Status":" **False**"}_  
_{"Name":"CompB", "Timestamp":"November 27th 2015, 10:08:05.673", "Status":"True"}_  
_{"Name":" **CompA**", "Timestamp":"November 27th 2015, 10:08:08.245", "Status":" **True**"}_  
_{"Name":"CompC", "Timestamp":"November 27th 2015, 10:08:11.862", "Status":"True"}_

You see " **CompA**" was updated to True, so my False Status isn't important for me.

I solved that problem with de " **Type**" at Elasticsearch ...  
I wanted the "Name" to become a _Primarykey_ and tried this in my logstash config:

_output { elasticsearch { index =\> "komponents" **document\_id =\> "%{Name** }" }_

So every time when a log with an existing name appears, Elasticsearch will make a new " **Version**" of this log and the old is no longer in your search/visualization.

Was that your problem?
