I've created a docker-compose file with some configurations that deploy **Elasticsearch** , **Kibana** , **Elastic Agent** all version 8.7.0.  
where in the Kibana configuration files I define the police I needed under xpack.fleet.agentPolicies, with single command all my environment goes up and all component connect successfully, the only issue is there is one manual step, which is I had to go to Kibana -\> Observability -\> APM -\> Add Elastic APM and then fill the Server configuration.

I want to automate this and manage this from the configuration files, I don't want to do it from the UI.

What is the way to do this? in which component? what is the path the configuration should be at?
