Charting the number of method requests by type and host
In our environment, where multiple hosts are responding to web requests for customers who browse the website, it is good to get an idea of the current number of each method request split by the host. Methods relate to request/response actions between a customer's web client and our web hosts. Having this type of information can enable us to understand if these requests are properly being balanced across the hosts or if one host is receiving the majority of the load.
In this recipe, you will write a Splunk search to chart the number of method requests split by type and host. You will then graphically represent these values on a dashboard, using a column chart.
