Systems and methods are disclosed for cross-system journey modeling based on relation of machine data. An example method includes obtaining information describing a user journey that includes multiple steps, each step corresponding to a query to be applied to one or more field-searchable data stores storing events, each event including a portion of machine data that reflects activity in an information technology environment and that is produced by a component of that information technology environment, and each event being associated with a timestamp extracted from the portion of machine data of that event. Events returned as a result of the query of each step are related. The results of the relating are displayed.
