How to GET latest and previous events from a different host?

[jadengoho]

Hi all ,
This is my problem : I have a table with time,log and host.
sample :

host 1  <event log> 2018-06-05 23:01:30
host 2  <event log> 2018-06-05 23:01:30

host 2  <event log> 2018-06-05 23:01:29
host 3  <event log> 2018-06-05 23:01:29

host 1  <event log> 2018-06-05 23:01:28
host 3  <event log> 2018-06-05 23:01:28

host 1  <event log> 2018-06-05 23:01:27
host 2  <event log> 2018-06-05 23:01:27
host 3  <event log> 2018-06-05 23:01:27

......

Now i want to only get was the latest and the previous
like this :

LATEST
host 1    <event log> 2018-06-05 23:01:30
host 2    <event log> 2018-06-05 23:01:30
host 3    <event log> 2018-06-05 23:01:29

PREVIOUS 
host 1    <event log> 2018-06-05 23:01:28
host 2    <event log> 2018-06-05 23:01:29
host 3    <event log> 2018-06-05 23:01:28

Is there a way or workaround to get this result ?
Thanks in advance

use dedup command to get latest 2 events :

...|dedup 2 host
