Kibana version: 7.5.2 Elasticsearch version: 7.5.2 APM Server version: APM Agent language and version: 1.11.0 java While using the @CaptureTransaction(value = 'Task') it was supposed to create a new tab with all the transactions called under that api but it does not seem to be working. is there something else i need to mention. ---

What exactly is not working? Is it creating no transaction at all? Or is it creating a transaction but you would like it to be separated form the rest of your transaction? Make sure you set `application_packages` - that's a prerequisite for the `@CaptureTransaction` annotation to work. If you want your transactions to be separate, set a different type. The default type is `request` which makes them appear in the same list as the regular transactions. For example: `@CaptureTransaction(type = "Task") ` ---

It is creating a transaction but it is not separating it from the rest. @CaptureTransaction(type = "Task") i have done this as well. application packages has been set as well ---

This is not a transaction created by `@CaptureTransaction`. What I'm trying to figure out: When setting `@CaptureTransaction(type: "Task")`, the transactions created by this annotation should have `"type": "Task"` in discover. In that case, there's also a selector transaction type selector in the transaction overview/service detail page where you can filter to see transactions of a particular type (default is `request`). ---
