The APM integration installs Elasticsearch templates and ingest node pipelines for APM data.
To learn more about the APM Integration architecture, see APM Components.

How to use this integration
editAdd the APM integration to an Elastic Agent policy to create an apm
input.
Any Elastic Agents set up with this policy will run an APM Server binary locally.
Don’t forget to configure the APM Server host
, especially if it needs to be accessed from outside, like when running in Docker.
Then, configure your APM agents to communicate with APM Server.
If you have Real User Monitoring (RUM) enabled, you must run Elastic Agent centrally. Otherwise, you can run it on edge machines by downloading and installing Elastic Agent on the same machines that your instrumented services run.
Data Streams
editWhen using the APM integration, apm events are indexed into data streams. Data stream names contain the event type, service name, and a user-configurable namespace.
There is no specific recommendation for what to use as a namespace; it is intentionally flexible.
You might use the environment, like production
, testing
, or development
,
or you could namespace data by business unit. It is your choice.
See APM data streams for more information.
Compatibility
editThe APM integration requires Kibana and Elasticsearch 7.12.x
+ with at least the basic license.
The APM integration version should match the Elastic Stack Major.Minor version. For example,
the APM integration version 7.16.2
should be run with the Elastic Stack 7.16.x
.
If you run APM Server with Elastic Agent manually in standalone mode, you must install the APM integration, otherwise the APM Server will not ingest any events.
Traces
editTraces are comprised of spans and transactions.
Traces are written to traces-apm-*
data streams, except for RUM traces, which are written to traces-apm.rum-*
.
