Control interface for metric definition specification for assets and asset groups driven by search-derived asset tree hierarchy
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- causing display of a user interface for configuring a metric definition for a metric of an asset node of an asset hierarchy, the metric representing a point in time or a period of time and derived at least in part from a metric-time search of machine data corresponding to the asset node;
receiving an identification, via the user interface, of a metric determination specification for the metric definition, the metric determination specification comprising identification of a metric component, identification of a calculation operation to apply to the metric component, and metric time factors corresponding to time-related aspects of the metric definition, wherein the metric time factors further comprising a schedule component and a span component, and wherein the user interface having an interactive element enabling a user to select one or more other metrics and to select the calculation operation to add to an editable input portion of the user interface comprising the metric determination specification; and
reflecting in computer storage the metric definition comprising an association of the metric determination specification with the metric;
wherein the asset hierarchy was derived at least in part from;
a result of a definition-time search of machine data pertaining to the asset hierarchy; and
a user indication of an asset identifier field and an asset parent identifier field in the result of the definition-time search.

Abstract
An asset monitoring and reporting system (AMRS) implements an interface to establish an asset hierarchy to be monitored and reported against. The interface employs a search query of extant asset data from which definitional aspects of the asset hierarchy can be identified, and therefrom the interface automatically determines control information reflective of the asset hierarchy to direct the ongoing operation of the AMRS. The interface further allows for configuration of a metric definition for a metric of an asset node of the asset hierarchy, the metric representing a point in time or a period of time and derived from a metric-time search of machine data produced by or about the asset node and receives an identification of a metric determination specification for the metric definition, the metric determination specification comprising at least identification of a metric component and identification of a calculation operation to apply to the metric component.
