1. A method comprising:

  • accessing information of a service definition from computer storage, the service definition identifying a key performance indicator (KPI) and one or more entities that provide a service, wherein;

    each entity has entity definition information identifying machine data produced by or about the entity, andthe KPI is defined by a search query that produces a value derived from machine data identified in the entity definitions, the value indicative of a measure of the service at a point in time or during a period of time, and the value indicating one of a plurality of states of the KPI, thereby transforming machine data to the value indicative of the measure;

    causing display of a graphical user interface (GUI) enabling a user to indicate a setting for one or more thresholds for the KPI, each threshold defining an end of a range of values corresponding to a particular state of the plurality of states of the KPI;

    receiving an indication via the GUI of at least one of the thresholds for the KPI;

    recording threshold information in computer storage in association with the KPI in accordance with the received indication; and

    wherein the method is performed by one or more processing devices coupled to the computer storage.
