[Request]: Filter your Host by Services

[roshan-elastic]

Description

We have added a improvement to allow users to quickly filter their hosts by the service running on them.

This helps users who are investigating a service (or a host that a service is running on) compare different hosts to see if the problem lies with the service or the host.

Screenshot - see **Service Name** drop-down

Notes

• Right now, we will only show the services which are instrumented with APM (and this is mentioned in the popver):

• As with the other drop-downs, the values are sorted by 'document count'. This is unlikely to mean much to the end user but it is effectively the count of events received by Elastic for the hosts that are running that service - we may want to mention what the 'document count' means.

Note : We acknowledge this is probably confusing and we're seeing if we can change this to show the host count instead (in the future)

Tag Line

Here is how we're describing it:

"Easily filter down to the hosts that your service is running on so you can more easily identify resource constraints, compare behavior across different host and identify the root causes for incidents quicker"
