Set up the APM appedit
APM is available via the navigation sidebar in Kibana. If you have not already installed and configured Elastic APM, the Add data page will get you started.
Load the index patternedit
Index patterns tell Kibana which Elasticsearch indices you want to explore. An APM index pattern is necessary for certain features in the APM app, like the query bar. To set up the correct index pattern, on the Add data page, click Load Kibana objects.
To use a custom index pattern, adjust Kibana’s settings or use the Kibana API.
