Hello, team!  
I integrated **Elastic APM** in my Android app using **EDOT (Elastic Distribution of OpenTelemetry)** for auto-instrumentation, but it’s only tracking a few API calls — not the complete app activity. Most screens, user interactions, and lifecycle events aren’t appearing in APM.  
Here’s my setup:

```auto

Gradle: 8.5  
Kotlin: 2.1.0  
core-ktx: 1.15.0  
minSdk: 21  
targetSdk: 35  
multiDexEnabled: true  
Elasticsearch/APM Server: 9.2.0

```

**Issue:**

- Only some API endpoints are being tracked

- Activities, fragments, and user events aren’t visible

**Question:**  
Is there any configuration or setting required for EDOT auto-instrumentation to capture the full app activity automatically?  
Thanks

Hi @Faisal_siddiqui

Just to confirm, are you using the [EDOT Android agent](https://github.com/elastic/apm-agent-android)? - That’s Elastic’s official Android APM agent. If that’s the case, it doesn’t add any automatic instrumentation by default; instead, you’d need to install the ones you’d like to use for your app, as explained in the [automatic instrumentation docs page](https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/opentelemetry/edot-sdks/android/automatic-instrumentation).

Please bear in mind that we currently support only OkHttp for automatic instrumentations; however, since EDOT Android is based on OpenTelemetry, you could use [OTel Android instrumentations](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-android/tree/main/instrumentation) with EDOT Android via its [OTel instrumentation adapter](https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/opentelemetry/edot-sdks/android/automatic-instrumentation#adapter-for-otel-android-instrumentations).
