Hi @puja,

you will find detailed setup instructions [in our documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/java/current/setup.html).

Hi Sylvain,

Thanks for your reply.

Actually, I tried using below options, but not getting transactions in APM kibana.

java -javaagent:/root/apm/elastic-apm-agent-1.17.0.jar -Delastic.apm.service\_name=APM\_TEST -Delastic.apm.hostname=Apm\_test -Delastic.apm.log\_level=DEBUG -Delastic.apm.enable\_log\_correlation=true -Delastic.apm.server\_urls=http://10.161.121.45:8200 -jar myapp.jar

In your application, what qualifies as a _transaction_ ?  
Which of the [supported technologies](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/java/current/supported-technologies-details.html) are you using in this application ?
