You are looking into HTTP Request Defaults configuration element where all the default values can be specified. It is good that you have it as if you will need to change URL, protocol, path, whatever you will be able to do it in one place instead of visiting each and every HTTP Request Sampler. See Why It's SO Important To Use JMeter's HTTP Request Defaults

However it is not a sampler so it won't do any work, you need to add HTTP Request Sampler to your test plan, there you will be able to set request method, etc.
