Meaning of "Latest" transformation type in Custom View

[TheVMinator]

I'm using a custom view.  I choose for a time period to view some counters on Virtual machines.  I choose that i want the time period covered to be the last 90 days. I choose "virtual disk | read_average (KBps)" metric and I choose the "latest" transformation type.

What is this giving me?  Is this giving me just the "latest" sample polled right now in real time and nothing prior to that?

That's correct.  Latest is just giving you the last sample polled.  The time period you selected is used for the other types of transformations, like average, max, min, etc.
