Presenting a graphical visualization along a time-based graph lane using key performance indicators derived from machine data

摘要

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.

1. A method, comprising:
causing display of time-based graphical visualizations each in a respective parallel graph lane and each correspond to a different key performance indicator (KPI) reflecting how a service provided by one or more entities is performing, the graphical visualizations all calibrated to a same time scale, wherein 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 associated with the one or more entities that provide the service corresponding to the KPI, a stored entity definition recording the association between each entity and its associated machine data, and a stored service definition associating the entities that provide the service, and wherein the machine data comprises unstructured raw machine data; and causing display of a value reflected in each of the graphical visualizations for different KPIs at a point in time on the time scale, the point in time indicated by a user manipulable visual indicator;wherein the method is performed by one or more processing devices.
