Abstract:
One or more processing devices derive values indicative of various aspects of how a particular service in an information technology (IT) environment is performing at a point in time or for a period of time. The values are derived by a search query over machine data associated with the one or more entities that provide the service. The one or more processing devices define and apply time varying static thresholds in respect to the values. A user (e.g., IT manager) may be enabled to manipulate or define multiple sets of KPI thresholds that vary over time.
Abstract:
One or more processing devices access a service definition for a service provided by one or more entities that each produce machine data or about which machine data is generated. The service definition identifies the entities that provide the service and, for each entity, identifying information for locating machine data pertaining to that entity. The processing devices access a key performance indicator (KPI) for the service that is defined by a search query that produces a value derived from the machine data pertaining to the entities identified in the service definition. The value indicates how the service is performing at a point in time or during a period of time and indicates a state of the KPI. A graphical interface is displayed and an indication of at least one threshold, which defines an end of a range of values representing a state of the KPI, for the KPI is received.

Abstract:
A service monitoring system receives a selection of key performance indicators (KPIs) that each indicate a different aspect of how a service provided by one or more entities is performing. Each entity of the one or more entities produces machine data or wherein each entity has its operation reflected in machine data not produced by the entity. Each KPI is defined by a different search query that derives one or more values from the machine data pertaining to the one or more entities providing the service, where each of the one or more values is associated with a point in time and representing the aspect of how the service is performing at the associated point in time. For each of the selected KPIs, the service monitoring system derives the one or more values and causes display of a graphical visualization of the derived one or more values for the KPI along a time-based graph lane. The graph lanes for the selected KPIs are parallel to each other and the graphical visualizations in the graph lanes are all calibrated to a same time scale.
Abstract:
Services in an operating environment are represented by stored service definitions that identify entities that perform the service. Entity definitions identify machine data pertaining to the entity. A key performance indicator (KPI) of the service characterizes the service on the whole or some aspect of it. Each KPI is defined by a search query that derives a value from machine data identified in the entity definitions. Processing devices cause display of a service-monitoring page having a services summary region and a services aspects region. The summary region displays interactive summary tiles that each correspond to a service and present information about an aggregate KPI that characterizes the service. The aspects region displays interactive aspect tiles that each correspond to a KPI characterizing some aspect of an associated service. Additional information may be included in the service-monitoring page and interaction features enable a user to navigate to enhanced information displays.
Abstract:
An automatic service monitor in an information technology environment has its operation controlled by information that, in part, defines entities that perform services and defines key performance indicators (KPIs) that indicate measures of performance of the services. Additional information controls the operation of the service monitor with respect to reporting KPI data on system dashboards based on design templates. Data sources associated with one service that help populate a design template are automatically swapped for data sources associated with a different service to produce automatic dashboard variants.
Abstract:
An automatic service monitor in an information-technology environment performs regular search queries against generated machine data to derive performance measurements. The information technology environment is defined in terms of services provided by entities, and the performance measurements are defined as key performance indicators (KPIs) of the services. Generated machine data used by the search queries pertain to the entities performing the service. Definitional information for the services, entities, and KPIs is administered by a user to control the operation of the service monitor. Various aspects of such definitional information as well as related performance measurement information may be presented in a unified console display tailored to, and organized around, a particular service. The console display may serve as a central launch point by supporting user interaction to navigate to other specialized monitoring interfaces.
Abstract:
A services monitoring system causes display of time-based graphical visualizations that each correspond to a different key performance indicator (KPI) reflecting how a service provided by one or more entities is performing. The graphical visualizations are all calibrated to a same time scale. Each KPI is defined by a search query that derives one or more values reflected in the graphical visualization for that KPI from machine data pertaining to the one or more entities that provide the service corresponding to the KPI.
Abstract:
One or more processing devices cause display of a service-monitoring page having a services summary region and a services aspects region. The services summary region contains an ordered plurality of interactive summary tiles, each summary tile corresponding to a respective service and providing a character or graphical representation of at least one value for an aggregate key performance indicator (KPI) characterizing the respective service as a whole. The services aspects region contains an ordered plurality of interactive aspect tiles, each aspect tile corresponding to a respective aspect KPI and providing a character or graphical representation of one or more values for the respective aspect KPI, each aspect KPI having an associated service and typifying performance for an aspect of the associated service. Each KPI is associated with a service having a service definition, each service definition has one or more entity definitions, each entity definition having information to identity machine data related to the entity, each KPI has a definition including a search query that produces a value derived from machine data identified using one or more of the entity definitions included in the service definition, and each value is indicative of how the service in whole or part is performing at a point in time or during a period of time.
