How can i get latest value of all ID (1-1,1-2,2-1,2-2). considering there are no latest data on ID(2-1,2-2)

Data:

12:10:01 ID 1-1, value="GOOD"
12:10:01 ID 1-2, value="GOOD"
12:10:02 ID 2-1, value="GOOD"
12:10:02 ID 2-2, value="GOOD"

12:10:04 ID 2-1, value="GOOD"
12:10:04 ID 2-2, value="GOOD"

I'm assuming your fields are extracted properly, so that "ID" and "value" are both extracted. You can retrieve the last value for each ID using the stats command latest:

[Your search string to find the events] | stats latest(value) by ID

This will give you a table of IDs and the latest value field for each. You can read more about stats here:
