When selecting **Network events**, **CloudTrail logs**, or **S3 access logs** as the log type, a detector dashboard is automatically created. The dashboard offers visualizations for the detector and can provide security-related insight into log source data.

### Viewing surrounding documents
The **Finding details** pane contains specific information about the finding, including the document that generated the finding. To investigate the series of events that led to the finding or followed the finding, you can select **View surrounding documents** to open the document in the **Discover** panel and view other documents preceding or following it.
1. Open **Finding details** by selecting the **Finding ID** in the **Findings** list.
1. In the **Documents** section, select **View surrounding documents**. If an index pattern already exists for the document, the **Discover** panel opens and displays the document. If an index pattern does not exist, the **Create index pattern to view documents** window opens and prompts you to create an index pattern, as shown in the following image.
