## Context-aware data exploration [context-aware-discover]

**Discover** provides tailored experiences for the following data types when accessed from specific Serverless project types or {{kib}} solution views:

* Observability:
* **[Logs exploration](/solutions/observability/logs/explore-logs.md)**
% LINK/PAGE TBD * **Traces exploration**
% LINK/PAGE TBD * **Metrics exploration**
% * Security:
% LINK/PAGE TBD * **Security data exploration**

This context-aware experience is determined by both your solution context and the type of data you query.

When you access **Discover** outside of a specific solution context, or when working with data types that don't have specialized experiences, you get the default **Discover** interface with all its core functionality for general-purpose data exploration.
