Mapping Key Performance Indicators Derived from Machine Data to Dashboard Templates

摘要

Raw machine data are captured and organized as events. Entity definitions representing machine entities that perform a service identify the machine data associated with 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. 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.
