Abstract:
An example method of determining a state of a key performance indicator (KPI) comprises: receiving one or more entity definitions, wherein each entity definition associates an entity with machine data pertaining to the entity; receiving a service definition for a service provided by one or more entities, the service definition including a reference to a corresponding entity definition of the entity definitions, wherein the service definition includes a respective reference for each of the one or more entities; receiving definitions of one or more KPIs, each KPI defined by a respective search query that produces a value derived from particular machine data, wherein the particular machine data is identified by the service definition, wherein each value is indicative of performance of the service at a point in time or during a period of time; deriving, by performing on the machine data a search query associated with the KPI, one or more KPI values for the KPI; selecting, among a plurality of states of the KPI, a state satisfying a condition applied to the one or more KPI values; and causing display of a visual indicator of the state of the KPI.
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, definitional information includes information for identifying 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.

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:
Raw machine data are captured and may be organized as events. Entity definitions representing machine entities that perform a service identify the machine data pertaining to respective entities. KPI search queries each define a KPI. Each KPI search query derives one or more values for the KPI from machine data identified in the entity definitions. The derivation may be performed on a per-entity basis and on the aggregate. The derived values may then be translated into a state value domain using per-entity thresholds, aggregate thresholds, or a combination.

KPI search queries each define a KPI. Each KPI search query derives one or more values for the KPI from machine data identified in the entity definitions. A dashboard template having an identifier for the KPI is presented by a graphical interface. The identifier presents at a user-designated location and may be a widget that provides a numerical or graphical representation of one or more values for the KPI. Embodiments may allow modification of the template.

Abstract:
A service monitoring system executing on one or more processors may have operations that are determined by control information. Control over the operation of the service monitoring system can be exerted through the use of a graphical interface. The graphical interface may present the control information of a new or existing correlation search definition for user interaction. The service monitoring system may maintain a data store of key performance indicator (KPI) data, where a KPI value in the data store is produced by a KPI-defining search query that derives the value from machine data associated with one or more entities that perform a monitored service. A correlation search definition of the service monitoring system determines how a search of the KPI data is conducted, how its data is evaluated to determine whether a triggering condition has been met, and, if so, determines what triggered action is to be initiated.

Abstract:
One or more processing devices derive a value for each of a plurality of key performance indicators (KPIs). Each KPI indicates a different aspect of how the same service provided by one or more entities is performing at a point in time. Each KPI is defined by a search query that derives the value for that KPI from machine data associated with the one or more entities that provide the same service. The one or more processing devices calculate a value for an aggregate KPI for the same service from the values for each of the plurality of KPIs.
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 determine a value for an aggregate key performance indicator (KPI) for the service to indicate or characterize the service overall from values for each of the various aspects.
