I have a need to track API requests made to Solarwinds. Any ideas on how this can be accomplished?
Following.
There's got to be a good way to do this. Something more high-level than simple WireShark or port-mirrors & sniffers or firewall counter hits.
Would creating a VIP on a load balancer with the web server in the pool work for you?
That way you can have the load balancer do the logging and output it to where you need it.
That's not a graceful solution, but I can see how it could achieve the goal.
I was thinking of something lower-level, something that tracked sources making the hits and reported those sources.
Plus, many smaller customers don't have load balancers--may only have just one main NPM instance and no APE's. It would have to be a solution for the small customer, too.
Bonus if it reports what the request was.
