Using the Infrastructure Overview in Splunk App for Infrastructure

Monitor the health of your system using the Infrastructure Overview. This view is used to quickly understand availability and performance of your server infrastructure. Choose a specific performance metric and set a threshold to better understand your high and low performing systems.

From this view you can quickly access information including hostname and IP address, as well as drill down to the Overview Dashboard and Analysis Workspace for a specific server where you can continue to analyze and understand server performance.
