Hi
If I understand the question correctly I think if you put:
| summarize arg_max(Value, *) by Computer
before
| render timechar
I think you might achieve the desired effect.
arg_max() - https://docs.loganalytics.io/docs/Language-Reference/Aggregation-functions/arg_max()

Thanks Stanislav!
Your response actually showed what I was missing in my solution, which was a way to determine the top 5 machines before displaying a histogram. The solution I used, seen in the response above, basically does this first, and inner joins that with the time-series search.

Yes, this is exactly it! Thanks, and apologies for not being clearer in my question.
