If you are asking about a problem you are experiencing, please use the following template, as it will help us help you. If you have a different problem, please delete all of this text 🙂 **Kibana version** : 7.0.0 **Elasticsearch version** : 7.0.0 **APM Server version** : 7.0.1 **APM Agent language and version** : JAVA 1.7.0 Tomcat v8.5.30 **Fresh install or upgraded from other version?** Fresh Install **Is there anything special in your setup?** For example, are you using the Logstash or Kafka outputs? Are you using a load balancer in front of the APM Servers? Have you changed index pattern, generated custom templates, changed agent configuration etc. Tomcat setenv.sh: export CATALINA\_OPTS="$CATALINA\_OPTS -javaagent:/opt/apm/elastic-apm-agent-1.7.0.jar" export CATALINA\_OPTS="$CATALINA\_OPTS -Delastic.apm.service\_name=frm-service-des" export CATALINA\_OPTS="$CATALINA\_OPTS -Delastic.apm.application\_packages=com.example" export CATALINA\_OPTS="$CATALINA\_OPTS -Delastic.apm.server\_urls=http://localhost:8200" export CATALINA\_OPTS="$CATALINA\_OPTS -Delastic.apm.environment=des" export CATALINA\_OPTS="$CATALINA\_OPTS -Delastic.apm\*\*.trace\_methods\*\*=com.example.app.service.job.\*Job#execute" **Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior. Please include screenshots (if relevant)**: Jobs are executed through Quartz threads, not tomcat threads. In kibana, I expected to also see jobs transactions, however I only see HTTP transactions (index\_jsp#doGet). **Steps to reproduce** : 1. On tomcat, deploy a war application with Quartz jobs and try to trace them. 2. 3. **Errors in browser console (if relevant)**: **Provide logs and/or server output (if relevant)**: Jobs execution is viewed on logs: INFO 2019-07-05 13:30:00,004 [scheduler\_Worker-2] com.example.app.service.job.IntegrationJob - Job \*\* Integration\_Job\_Detail \*\* fired @ Fri Jul 05 13:30:00 CEST 2019 However no trace appears on APM. ---

Found out how to debug agent and activated it. It is correctly getting traces. So navigated a little bit on Kibana and found out that transactions exist, but are not shown: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/e/2/e2274208fb00f43aaeada6d22d21ee0db9325778.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/d/7d7d78487a326922b0dacca06e7c5302b432cbb1.png) Kibana problem? ---

Seen the filter on first image by type! Really confusing behavior and cannot select all. Anyway, problem "solved". ---

Welcome to the forum and thanks for your feedback! > [@inakipaz](#): > > export CATALINA\_OPTS="$CATALINA\_OPTS -Delastic.apm.application\_packages=com.example" No reason to do this- put a REAL root package of your application. Regarding Quartz- guess what: @Wolfram_Haussig just created [a pull request implementing a plugin](https://github.com/elastic/apm-agent-java/pull/692) for capturing Quartz jobs out of the box!! If you can try it out and give us feedback- that will be awesome! You can download [this snapshot build](https://apm-ci.elastic.co/job/apm-agent-java/job/apm-agent-java-mbp/job/PR-692/22/artifact/src/github.com/elastic/apm-agent-java/elastic-apm-agent/target/elastic-apm-agent-1.7.1-SNAPSHOT.jar) and try it out (without the `-Delastic.apm.trace_methods=com.example.app.service.job.*Job#execute` configuration). Thanks, Eyal. ---

@inakipaz As Eyal said I implemented Quartz support last week as we too are using Quartz and would like to see the Jobs in APM. I would appreciate any feedback on the implementation. ---

@Eyal_Koren I used com.example to hide some data. It actually is the real package on the implementation. @Wolfram_Haussig Just downloaded the snapshot and will test it on our dev environment. Will be back to comment on your github thread. ---

@Wolfram_Haussig Just deployed and updated one tomcat with quartz. Works as expected. Stopped using trace\_methods. ---
