Topology navigator for it services

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processing device coupled with the memory to:
• cause for display a graphical user interface comprising:
• a first display component graphically depicting a plurality of service nodes and dependencies between the plurality of service nodes, a first service node being identified as an in-focus service node, wherein each service node represents one of a plurality of services that is provided by one or more entities, each entity corresponding to an entity definition having an identification of machine data from or about the entity, each service corresponding to a service definition associating the entity definitions for the entities that provide the service and having a key performance indicator (KPI) defined by a search query that derives a value indicating performance of the service from machine data identified in the associated entity definitions;
• and
• a second display component comprising information related to a first service represented by the in-focus service node;
• receive a user selection of a second service node of the plurality of service nodes;
• and
• transition the in-focus service node identification from the first service node to the second service node in the first display component responsive to the user selection of the second service node, and updating the second display component with information related to the service represented by the second service node.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium encoding instructions thereon that, in response to execution by one or more processing devices, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

• causing for display a graphical user interface comprising:
• a first display component graphically depicting a plurality of service nodes and dependencies between the plurality of service nodes, a first service node being identified as an in-focus service node, wherein each service node represents one of a plurality of services that is provided by one or more entities, each entity corresponding to an entity definition having an identification of machine data from or about the entity, each service corresponding to a service definition associating the entity definitions for the entities that provide the service and having a key performance indicator (KPI) defined by a search query that derives a value indicating performance of the service from machine data identified in the associated entity definitions;
• and
• a second display component comprising information related to a first service represented by the in-focus service node;
• receiving a user selection of a second service node of the plurality of service nodes;
• and
• responsive to the user selection of the second service node, transitioning the in-focus service node identification from the first service node to the second service node in the first display component, and updating the second display component with information related to the service represented by the second service node.
