Hi,  
I'am running Elasticsearch `6.4.1` on Kubernetes (`docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.4.1`). I enabled X-Pack too.

I Have installed APM-Server 6.2.4 and everything is working fine : I have data coming from my instrumented nodeJS apps. I also imported APM dashboards.

**BUT** the APM UI does not showing up in the left menu.

What I've missed?

Hi,

That sounds odd. A few steps that might highlight the issue:

1. Please double check, that your license for x-pack is valid: Management -\> License Management.
2. Try accessing `<host>/app/apm` directly, and see if that brings up the APM UI?
3. Ensure that the following config options are not disabled in `config/kibana.yml`:

```auto
apm_oss.enabled = true
xpack.apm.enabled: true
xpack.apm.ui.enabled: true

```

Let me know how it goes.

Ok, I found the problem : The Docker image of Kibana was pointing on the `kibana-oss` version. Using the non-oss one resolved my problem.

Now I have "APM" in the left menu.

Thank you
