request and response flow based on traceID or sessionID

[sravan464]

Hi 
we are trying to understand is there a way to create dashboard to show case the request response flow and including request and response time based on a ID (traceid or sessionID).

Actually in every request from browser(UI) -> backEnd (Microservice) -> backEnd (multiple dependent services), we are passing a traceid to trace the request and we are logging that in every service. 

so we want to create a dash board to show where the response took long time and where the request failed .etc... 

any suggestions/thoughts ?
please find the attached diagram for example

Hi @sravan464 

we are passing a traceid to trace the request and we are logging that in every service >>  thats perfect. 

May we know if you use Splunk enterprise with ES / ITSI or just Splunk enterprise only? 

the glasstables from ES / ITSI got features for creating KPI's and creating such dashboards. 

with Splunk enterprise also, it should be possible. maybe, did you check the recent dashboard apps pls.
