The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates the processing of network data. During operation, the system obtains a set of event streams from one or more remote capture agents over one or more networks, wherein the set of event streams comprises time-series event data generated from network packets captured by the one or more remote capture agents. Next, the system causes for display, within a graphical user interface (GUI), a first set of user interface elements, wherein the first set of user interface elements includes event stream information for an event stream in the set of event streams and a first graph of a metric associated with the time-series event data in the event stream. The system then updates the first graph in real-time with the time-series event data from the one or more remote capture agents.
