I have an Index where i store huge Json documents. I want the last document inserted which contains the latest state. What is the most efficient command.
Since Splunk searches backward in time, tail will give you the oldest entry rather than the latest. I prefer to use 'head 1' to find the most recent event.

If you just want one records which was inserted/indexed recently, head is the command you need. If you need last indexed records by a field (say host or user) then dedup or stats latest can be used.
