Configure the output
editConfigure the output
editYou configure APM Server to write to a specific output by setting options
in the output
section of the apm-server.yml
config file. Only a single
output may be defined.
The following topics describe how to configure each supported output:
If you’ve secured the Elastic Stack, also read Securing APM Server for more about security-related configuration options.
Sourcemaps
editSourcemaps can be uploaded through all outputs but must eventually be stored in Elasticsearch.
When using outputs other than Elasticsearch, source_mapping.elasticsearch
must be set for source maps to be applied.
Be sure to update source_mapping.index_pattern
if sourcemaps are stored in the non-default location.
See source_mapping.elasticsearch
for more details.
fields
editFields are optional tags that can be added to any output.
Fields can be scalar values, arrays, dictionaries, or any nested combination of these.
By default, the fields that you specify here will be grouped under a fields
sub-dictionary in the output document.
Example:
fields: {project: "myproject", instance-id: "574734885120952459"}
To store the custom fields as top-level fields, set the fields_under_root
option to true.
This is not recommended as backwards compatibility can not be ensured as new fields are added to APM documents.
