Panel that shows the latest value of a field

[elvarb]

In some cases you want to have a dashboard that shows the latest value of a field. For example you have concurrent connections and want the Ops team to see the current status at a glance. Same if you have calls waiting from the phone system. Would work well with the metric filter also.

Letter size scale to the size of the panel.
Custom font color.
Possibly if it's a number a different color if the value is greater than some value.

+1 This feature would be useful to our team as well. We would like to see the last value of a particular field grouped by another field.

+1 for this, would be a great addition for our dashboard as well!

It's also usefull for everything that has a state and is logging that state.

I was hoping to work around this in a saved search by setting "size": 0 in the definition, but it's not respected there.

Grafana has a single stat panel that is exactly what is needed in kibana

this is possible by combining filter, terms, and top_hits aggs, as in the example below. While the agg delivers the document, not the metric (top hits does not allow sub-aggs), that can be extracted in the JS code. See the example query below:

{
  "query": {
    "filtered": {
      "query": {
        "query_string": {
          "query": "*",
          "analyze_wildcard": true
        }
      },
      "filter": {
        "bool": {
          "must": [
            {
              "query": {
                "query_string": {
                  "analyze_wildcard": true,
                  "query": "*"
                }
              }
            }
          ],
          "must_not": []
        }
      }
    }
  },
  "size": 0,
  "aggs": {
    "3": {
      "filter": {
        "term": {"tags": "apache_stats"}
      },
      "aggs": {
        "2": {
          "terms": {
            "field": "@host.raw",
            "size": 5
          },
          "aggs": {
            "1": {
              "top_hits": {
                "sort": [{
                    "@timestamp": {"order": "desc"}
                }],
                "size": 1

              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
