Hi All, I have configured apm-server to monitor tomat-apache logs it is fine, but I need to monitor just apache without tomcat, is it possible to monitor? If yes please let me know the configuration process! Thanks in Advance. ---

Hi Kranthi, There is currently no out-of-the-box solution for tracing within Apache httpd. For this, a couple of things would be required: an Elastic APM agent with a C API, and an [httpd module](https://httpd.apache.org/modules/) using that agent to hook into httpd events. Neither of these exist today. If you don't specifically need APM trace data, but you want logs and/or metrics, I'd suggest taking a look at the [Filebeat](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-module-apache2.html) and [Metricbeat](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-module-apache.html) Apache httpd modules. Cheers, Andrew ---

Thanks for the reply, After installing the metricbeat latest version, I am unable to get the modules.d folder in /etc/metricbeat for enabling apache logs. May I know the reason or am I doing the wrong process? Kindly correct me. ---

Hi, I'd suggest asking that in the [beats](https://discuss.elastic.co/c/beats) forum to get answers from the beats experts. But if you want to process apache logs, you should probably have a look at the [Filebeat Apache module](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-module-apache2.html). ---

Hi, sounds like you may have run into a known metricbeat issue, please see [this discuss entry](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/metric-beat-module-list-empty/147064/2). ---
