This PR: - updates navigation instructions to accommodate for the navigation changes related to solution views. - updates instructions for adding sample data to rely on the integrations page instead of the home page, that only exists with the classic solution view - updates references to the home page to avoid confusing users using one of the new solution views Closes: https://github.com/elastic/platform-docs-team/issues/529 Closes: https://github.com/elastic/platform-docs-team/issues/540

== View field statistics
|
||
|
||
Explore the fields in your data with the *Field statistics* view in *Discover* and
|
||
answer such questions as:
|
||
|
||
* What does the latency
|
||
look like when one of the containers is down on a Sunday?
|
||
* Is the field type and format in the data view appropriate
|
||
for the data and its cardinality?
|
||
|
||
This example explores the fields in
|
||
the <<gs-get-data-into-kibana, sample web logs data>>, or you can use your own data.
|
||
|
||
. Go to *Discover*.
|
||
|
||
. Expand the {data-source} dropdown, and select *Kibana Sample Data Logs*.
|
||
|
||
. If you don’t see any results, expand the time range, for example, to *Last 7 days*.
|
||
|
||
. Click *Field statistics*.
|
||
+
|
||
The table summarizes how many documents in the sample contain each field for the selected time period
|
||
the number of distinct values, and the distribution.

|
||
|
||
. Expand the `hour_of_day` field.
|
||
+
|
||
For numeric fields, *Discover* provides the
|
||
document statistics, minimum, median, and
|
||
maximum values, a list of top values, and a distribution chart.
|
||
Use this chart to get a better idea of how the values
|
||
in the data are clustered.

|
||
|
||
. Expand the `geo.coordinates` field.
|
||
+
|
||
For geo fields, *Discover* provides the document statistics,
|
||
examples, and a map of the coordinates.
