# Limit Operator

## Overview

Limit the number of returned results with `limit`.

```kusto
| limit <integer>
```

There is no guarantee as to which records are returned, unless a [`sort`](/pantherflow/operators/sort.md) has already been performed on the data.

## Example

{% hint style="info" %}
Example data

```kusto
let aws_alb = datatable [
  {"type": "https", "p_event_time": "2023-09-16 05:59:04.058", "sentBytes": 167},
  {"type": "https", "p_event_time": "2023-09-16 05:45:34.863", "sentBytes": 329},
  {"type": "https", "p_event_time": "2023-09-16 05:36:09.017", "sentBytes": 167},
  {"type": "https", "p_event_time": "2023-09-16 05:27:39.177", "sentBytes": 468992}
];
```

{% endhint %}

### Limit to one result

```kusto
aws_alb
| limit 1
```

| EVENT                                                                              |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `{ "p_event_time": "2023-09-16 05:59:04.058", "sentBytes": 167, "type": "https" }` |
