Known issuesedit

APM has the following known issues:

Ingesting new JVM metrics in 8.9 and 8.10 breaks upgrade to 8.11 and stops ingestion
APM Server versions: 8.11.0, 8.11.1
Elastic APM Java Agent versions: 1.39.0+

If you’re using the Elastic APM Java Agent v1.39.0+ to send new JVM metrics to APM Server v8.9.x and v8.10.x, upgrading to 8.11.0 or 8.11.1 will silently fail and stop ingesting APM metrics.

After upgrading, you will see the following errors:

  • APM Server error logs:

    failed to index document in 'metrics-apm.internal-default' (fail_processor_exception): Document produced by APM Server v8.11.1, which is newer than the installed APM integration (v8.10.3-preview-1695284222). The APM integration must be upgraded.
  • Fleet error on integration package upgrade:

    Failed installing package [apm] due to error: [ResponseError: mapper_parsing_exception
    	Root causes:
    		mapper_parsing_exception: Field [jvm.memory.non_heap.pool.committed] attempted to shadow a time_series_metric]

A fix was released in 8.11.2: elastic/kibana#171712.
