We setup APM agent in our nodejs application. It captures requests even made by other npm too _(which is very good)_, but it does not capture any queries to mysql.

We are using [squelize](http://docs.sequelizejs.com/) as ORM to mysql.

Thanks for trying out Elastic APM 🙂

We don't directly instrument sequelize. Instead we instrument the specific database driver installed as a peer dependency to sequelize.

Are you using the [mysql](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mysql) package or the [mysql2](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mysql2) package?

You can also see a list of all the database modules we currently support here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/nodejs/current/compatibility.html#compatibility-tracing-and-instrumentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/nodejs/current/compatibility.html#compatibility-tracing-and-instrumentation)

Sequelize uses `mysql2` npm.

We currently do not support automatic instrumentation of the mysql2 module. But we're actively working on it. You can follow the progress in [PR#298](https://github.com/elastic/apm-agent-nodejs/pull/298). Once that's released, you should see mysql spans.
