I have this query


is not mapped to ink name
| rex "(?<time>\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}\s\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}).*Ink Type '(?<ink_type>[^']+)'"
| sort - time
| table time ink_type

that will have this result

I want the result to be just the latest log date. In this case it will only show the top 3. And when new logs comes in, then it will show that new logs only
