An analyst is on the Explore page and sees a large spike in the histogram. They want to understand what types of events are causing this spike and then drill down to see the full details of a few representative events. What is the most direct way to accomplish this?

Use the search bar to query for `event.category: *` and then sort the data table by the `@timestamp` field to see the events in the spike.

Click and drag on the histogram to select the time range of the spike, then use the field panel to add `event.category` as a top values visualization, and finally expand individual rows in the data table.

Hover over the spike in the histogram and click the 'Inspect' button to see the raw events and their full field values.

Click on the spike in the histogram to open a new tab with the event details for all events in that time range.

Which component of the Explore interface allows an analyst to inspect the full details of a specific event?

The expanded event row in the data table
