Create dependencies when adding transactions

To create dependencies between transactions and nodes or applications when setting up transactions:

1. When creating a transaction, select the "Improve troubleshooting by associating nodes or applications to this web transaction" option.
2. Click Add nodes.
3. Select the node(s) to associate with this transaction and click Save.
4. Click Add applications.
5. Select the application(s) to associate with this transaction and click Save.
6. (Optional) To add nodes and applications to individual steps in this transaction, click Set individual dependencies for steps.
7. Click Save Monitor.

The Manage Transaction Monitors page displays the related nodes and related applications.

Edit transaction and transaction step dependencies

Transaction and Transaction Step Dependencies created this way appear on the Manage Dependencies page. By default, they are created with "Transaction dependency" and "Transaction Step dependency" as the Dependency Name, and with the node or application as the Parent and the transaction or transaction step as the Child. To learn about managing dependencies, see Create dependencies on the Manage Dependencies page and the SolarWinds Platform Administrator Guide.
