Entity detail monitoring console
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving an identification of a particular entity;
causing display of a monitoring interface page for the particular entity in accordance with the received identification, the interface page including;
an entity portion including an identifier of the particular entity;
a services portion including at least one interactive service entry; and
a key performance indicator (KPI) portion including at least one interactive KPI entry;
wherein each service entry corresponds to a service from among a plurality of services, each service of the plurality having a stored service definition identifying one or more entities that provide the service including the particular entity, each entity of the one or more entities having a stored entity definition that identifies machine data produced by or about the entity, the machine data produced by one or more components within an information technology environment and reflecting activity within the information technology environment;
wherein each KPI entry corresponds to a KPI defined by a search query that derives a value from machine data identified in one or more of the entity definitions, including the entity definition of the particular entity, the value indicative of a performance measure of a service from among the plurality of services, andwherein the method is performed by a computer system comprising one or more processors.

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 entity. The console display may serve as a central launch point by supporting user interaction to navigate to other specialized monitoring interfaces.
