Previously, the request count reported for a Tomcat web application only counted the requests handled by its "default" servlet, which serves static content such as images or CSS files. Requests handled by any other servlet were not counted, so the reported value was always lower than the actual number of requests the web application received. For a web application that only exposes a REST API, the count was always zero.

The request count now sums the requests across all servlets of a web application, so it reflects the total number of incoming HTTP requests.

As a result, you will likely see higher request count values than before for affected web applications. Review any levels you have configured on this metric.

Thanks to GitHub user toKrause (Torsten Krause) for the contribution.
