**Kibana version** : 7.17

**Elasticsearch version** : 7.17

**APM Server version** : 7.17

**APM Agent language and version** : Ruby 2.5.3 (Rails 4.2)

**Browser version** : Chrome 103.0.5060.134

**Original install method (e.g. download page, yum, deb, from source, etc.) and version**: RubyGems

**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.  
NA

**Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior. Please include screenshots (if relevant)**:

I'm working on moving from NewRelic to Elastic APM for our Ruby on Rails app. One issue I noticed is that Redis is not showing as a dependency in Kibana. Other dependencies are appearing without issues (mysql, external api calls).

 ![Dependencies](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/e/f/ef28807a6fb0a3a3b28aa2738ed487ca81486747.png)

I can see there are transaction Traces with references to Redis.

We have two Redis instances (Azure Cache for Redis) that we connect to:

- The first is for caching (Rails.cache)
- The second is for queuing/background job processing (Resque)

I'm able to see both of these Redis dependencies in NewRelic, but not with Kibana/Elastic APM. I would expect to see both Redis instances as dependencies.

**Provide logs and/or server output (if relevant)**:  
Let me know what information is relevant for this.

Any Help is greatly appreciated! 🙂
