Hi Team,
Am facing one issue, my requriement is to continously monitor the file and want to pick only the latest records which are newly added and should ignore older events, i just want to take only latest events which option should i enable to satisfy my requirement.
There is no option to take only the latest events. However, there are many ways to do it, depending on your specific needs.
For example, if you want to see only the latest event for each ip address, use the dedup command:
yoursearchhere | dedup src_ip
This example assumes that the ip address is in a field called src_ip
.
If your definition of "the latest events" means "all events in the last minute", then you can use Custom Time in the time selection drop down to set that for your search. Or you could use a realtime search if you need to see the events continuously updated.

Um, surely you just search for earliest=-5h@h ?
