Discover is your first step on the road to information enlightenment. From this interface you have access to every document, in every index that matches your configured index pattern. For the purpose of this documentation, we will assume you have selected a time field. If you didn't, ignore anything that mentions time.
You should see a few things:
- A list of documents
- A list of fields
- A time chart
If you don't see any documents, it is possible that:
- You don't **have** any documents. Might want to get some in there.
- Your time range is too narrow. By default Kibana shows the last 15 minutes of data. You might want to expand this out by clicking the time in the top right of the screen and selecting a broader range.

- Your time range is too narrow
By default Kibana shows the last 15 minutes of data. You might want to expand this by clicking the time in the top right of the screen and selecting a broader range.
### Document list
Now that you see some documents you can begin to explore. In the document list Kibana will show you the localized version of the time field your specified in your index pattern, as well as the `_source` of the elasticsearch document. By default the table contains 500 of the most recent documents.
**Tip:** You can increase the number of document in the table from the advanced settings screen. See the [Setting section](settings.md#advanced) of the documentation.

Click on the expand button to the left of the time. Kibana will read the fields from the document and present them in a table. The + and - buttons allow you to quickly filter for documents that share common traits with the one you're looking at. Click the JSON tab at the top of the table to see the full, pretty printed, original document.
