Editing service dependencies

The Edit Service Dependencies dashboard helps Foglight users with the Advanced Operator role to manually add or ignore dependencies between components inside a selected service and external components.

To access this dashboard, click Edit Service Dependencies on the Dependency Mapping Administration dashboard.

Click the details link to open the Dependency Detail dialog box. For more information, see Dependency detail.

Managing global dependencies

The Manage Global Dependencies dashboard helps Foglight users with the Advanced Operator role to manually ignore or restore dependencies in the environments, to easily monitor only the components of interest. Ignoring a dependency is useful in the case where some dependencies are not meaningful. In general, it is best to set the agent settings to correctly filter detected dependencies, but in some cases it is easier to use the ignore feature to achieve the same filtering.

To access this dashboard, click Manage Global Dependencies in the Dependency Mapping Administration dashboard.

The dashboard includes two tabs:

Active dependencies - displays all active dependencies in your environment.
Ignored dependencies - displays all dependencies ignored from your environment.
