1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
receiving identification of a first field value for a first field, the first field value indicating related events;
receiving identification of a second field value for a second field, the second field value indicating a particular step of a process;
determining that each event in a set of events includes the first field value for the first field and a respective field value for the second field, wherein each event of the set of events records activity within a computing environment, and wherein a particular event of the set of events is associated with the particular step of the process based on the respective field value for the second field of the particular event matching the second field value; and
generating a display for the set of events, wherein the set of events is ordered using the respective field value for the second field of each event of the set of events, and each event of the set of events is represented in the display as a step of an instance of the process.
