|
||||
== View surrounding documents
|
||||
|
||||
Once you've narrowed your search to a specific event in *Discover*,
|
||||
you can inspect the documents that occurred
|
||||
immediately before and after the event.
|
||||
To view the surrounding documents, your index pattern must contain time-based events.
|
||||
|
||||
. In the document table, click the expand icon (>).
|
||||
. Click *View surrounding documents.*
|
||||
+
|
||||
In the context view, documents are sorted by the time field specified in the index pattern
|
||||
and displayed using the same set of columns as the *Discover* view from which
|
||||
the context was opened. The anchor document is highlighted in blue.

|
||||
The filters you applied in *Discover* are carried over to the context view. Pinned
|
||||
filters remain active, while normal filters are copied in a disabled state.

|
||||

|

By default, five documents are added with each click.

=== Configure the context view
|
||||
|
||||
Configure the appearance and behavior in *Advanced Settings*.
|
||||
|
||||
. Open the main menu, then click *Stack Management > Advanced Settings*.
|
||||
. Search for `context`, then edit the settings.

|

|

`context:defaultSize`:: The number of documents to display by default.
|
||||
`context:step`:: The default number of documents to load with each button click. The default is 5.
|
||||
`context:tieBreakerFields`:: The field to use for tiebreaking in case of equal time field values.
|
||||
The default is the `_doc` field.
|
||||
+
|
||||
You can enter a comma-separated list of field
|
||||
names, which is checked in sequence for suitability when a context is
|
||||
displayed. The first suitable field is used as the tiebreaking
|
||||
field. A field is suitable if the field exists and is sortable in the index
|
||||
pattern the context is based on.
|
||||
+
|
||||
Although not required, it is recommended to only
|
||||
use fields that have {ref}/doc-values.html[doc values] enabled to achieve
|
||||
good performance and avoid unnecessary {ref}/modules-fielddata.html[field
|
||||
data] usage. Common examples for suitable fields include log line numbers,
|
||||
monotonically increasing counters and high-precision timestamps.

[[discover-view-document]]
|
||||
== View a document
|
||||
|
||||
Once you've found a document of interest in *Discover*, you have two more ways to
|
||||
view it: in a view by itself or in context with surrounding documents.
|
||||
|
||||
[float]
|

[[discover-view-single-document]]
|
||||
=== View a single document
|
||||
|
||||
Access a single document so you can bookmark it and share the link.
|
||||
|
||||
. In the document table, click the expand icon (>).
|
||||
. In the expanded view, click **View single document**.
|
||||
+
|
||||
You can view the document in two ways. The **Table** view displays the document fields row-by-row.
|
||||
The **JSON** (JavaScript Object Notation) view allows you to look at how {es} returns the document.

you can create <<external-plugin-development, your own plugin>>.
