I have referenced this discussion: [JVM corrupted with java agent 1.19.0 - CentOS - #5 by Eyal\_Koren](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/jvm-corrupted-with-java-agent-1-19-0-centos/257599/5)  
and deleted the profile\_inferred\_spans\_enabled: true  
The application starts normally, the apm is normal  
Can anyone tell me why?
