=== Using Discover

In the Discover application, the Flight data is presented in a table. You can 
interactively explore the data, including searching and filtering.

* In the side navigation, select *Discover*.

The current index pattern appears below the filter bar. An
<<index-patterns, index pattern>> tells {kib} which {es} indices you want to 
explore.

The `kibana_sample_data_flights` index contains a time field. A histogram
shows the distribution of documents over time.

to each field you want include as a column in the table.

For example, if you add the `DestAirportID` and `DestWeather` fields, 
the display includes columns for those two fields:
