# Exploration > Resource Exploration in pulumi-logtail. Resource Exploration in pulumi-logtail. Pulumi type: `logtail:index/exploration:Exploration`. `name` is the Pulumi resource name. Nested object fields are documented under that object. They are not arguments of this resource. ## Example Only required arguments are set. A string in angle brackets stands in for that argument. Any other value is an option or example written in the SDK description. ```ts import * as logtail from "pulumi-logtail" const resource = new logtail.Exploration("exploration", { chart: { chartType: "", }, queries: [ { queryType: "", }, ], }) ``` ## Arguments | Property | Type | Required | Description | | -------------------- | ------------------------------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `chart` | `ExplorationChart (input)` | yes | The chart configuration for this exploration. | | `dateRangeFrom` | `string` | no | The start of the date range (e.g., 'now-3h', 'now-24h'). | | `dateRangeTo` | `string` | no | The end of the date range (e.g., 'now'). | | `explorationGroupId` | `number` | no | The ID of the exploration group this exploration belongs to.
