Hi, I have installed a new apm server with the following configurations, APM Server - [http://my-apmserver:8200](http://my-apmserver:8200) The APM Agent is node.js and added the following to the first file that is loaded in my application. ``` module.exports = { // Set required service name (allowed characters: a-z, A-Z, 0-9, -, _, and space) serviceName: '', // Use if APM Server requires a token secretToken: '', // Set custom APM Server URL (default: http://localhost:8200) serverUrl: 'http://my-apmserver:8200' } ``` I have not provided any service name in the code. And started the apm.ES and application. But my Kibana APM dashboards are empty. Nothing gets populated in the dashboards. Is there anything iam missing? Request to advise! Thanks ---

Hi! Thanks for trying Elastic APM! You are indeed missing the `serviceName`, that is a required parameter so then you can see your service in Kibana. You might observe that APM Server is returning 400 response codes to your app because of that. Also check out the documentation, hopefully it can point you to the right direction, specifically: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/server/master/common-problems.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/server/master/common-problems.html) Hope this helps! ---

Thanks @jalvz! I have already provided the service name and changed the agent type to JS and done accordingly. The developers are analyzing the code and later I will update. Thanks ---

Hi @jalvz , I had configured the APM server and added the agents. The apm server is getting prompted with the following error in the logs.

It looks like you try to use the RUM endpoint, which is disabled by default. You can enable it by setting `apm-server.rum.enabled: true` in your configuration file `apm-server.yml`. Find more information about [setting up RUM](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/server/current/configuration-rum.html). ---

Thanks @simitt! I missed that doc! Thanks. Its working now! But I am having a sourcemap error! > failed to apply sourcemap Sourcemap Key Error for Service Name: 'APM\_REG\_TEST', Service Version: '' and Path: '' > 2018-08-30T13:02:21.402+0530 ERROR [stacktrace] model/stacktrace\_frame.go:219 Sourcemap Key Error for Service Name: 'APM\_REG\_TEST', Service Version: '' and Path: '' Request to advise! ---

Have you uploaded the according sourcemap? It looks like the stacktrace frame cannot be mapped to any sourcemap. Please see how you can [upload sourcemaps](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/server/current/sourcemap-api.html) and how [sourcemaps get applied](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/server/current/sourcemaps.html). Let me know if that helps. ---

Hi @simitt, Thanks for the reply. Still having a little doubt about the sourcemaps. From my understanding please find the points, So the sourcemaps will be different for each applications! For each applications we will require to upload the respective mapping to the apm server! The source map is a pure thing that is related with the backend development of the aplication ! Once the source map is uploaded into the apm server, it automatically checks for the uploaded data and the logs shiped from the aplpication ! Request to correct if iam wrong! Thanks in advance ---

@vishnuduttpv, if you want a source map to be applied, you first need to upload it. The combination of the `service_name`, `service_version` and `bundle_filepath` build the unique id for a source map. This means you need to upload a source map per service (app) version and file path. In case no source map is found for a stacktrace frame, the data are still ingested, just without source mapping being applied. ---
