I have my query ready which essentially extracts some fields and displays in a table.
But I want to work on the latest event only.
How do I put condition so that my query only works on the latest one event?

Is |sort _time necessary ?
Won't |head 1 alone will do the job?
Just confirming.

If it is realtime data it will come updated with head 1 ..or it is saved data it will directly give top of the value head 1 in this situation you have to sort _time than you will get top value as updated.
