Depend on:runs by does not appears to be an out of the box CI relationship. Below is a link that provides description of the CI relationships that are out of the box.

Hi @sonalpradha
There is no baseline CI relationship Depends on::Runs by.
Depends on::used by is as the name suggests denotes that the Parent CI is dependent upon the Child CI. It doesn't really have any prescribed CI classes - A server can depend on storage, a database can depend upon a service, and a Service Instance can depend upon another Service Instance. If the Child goes down, the Parent is usually effectively down as well. This matters in terms of bottom-up dependency to services (which is what really matters here). It helps answer the question: If this CI has a problem, which services are affected? Runs on::runs is a similarly dependent relationship but instead relates an application to the host it is running on.
Other CI relationships may express the nature of the connection but may not always define dependency (e.g. Uses::used by).
I hope this helps!
