Hi and thanks for using our APM solution!  
Please see whether the discussion in [this topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/enabled-javaapm-agent-to-my-app-in-docker-but-i-cant-see-it-in-kibana-under-apm-services/168560) is related (also links to [this GitHub issue](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/29378)).  
Otherwise, please try to provide more details about the problem and symptoms, for example:

- Are there errors in the java application/agent logs?
- Are there errors in the APM server logs?
- If you go to Management -\> Index Management, can you see any index related to APM?

Thanks,  
Eyal.
