11. A system comprising: a memory; and a processing device coupled with the memory to: cause display of a user interface having a threshold portion associated with a key performance indicator (KPI), the KPI defined by a search query that derives a value from machine data associated with one or more entities that provide a service, the threshold portion enabling a user to indicate one or more thresholds for the KPI and to indicate a per-entity application of the thresholds, each threshold corresponding to a different one of a plurality of KPI states; receive an indication of the thresholds and of the per-entity application of the thresholds in response to user interaction with the user interface; and store the thresholds in association with a definition of the KPI in accordance with the received indication such that a determining of a KPI state from among a plurality of KPI states is made, for an execution of the search query, on a per-entity basis for at least one of the entities in accordance with the thresholds.
15. The system of claim 11 further comprising to: cause display of a user interface portion showing individual contributions of one or more of the entities and a visual representation of one or more of the plurality of KPI states, wherein the visual representation is determined at least in part by the thresholds, and wherein each of the contributions is determined by applying a determination component of the search query to an aggregate of machine data corresponding to a particular entity.
