Are you saying the logs are not present in the apm server, or that the logs are there but the transaction IDs are not in the log documents?

It looks like you managed to properly create ECS-compatible logs, but your fluentbit setup decorates log messages, nesting each ECS-compatible JSON within a `log` field, which makes it non-ECS.  
For example, if an ECS field like [`transaction.id`](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/ecs/8.1/ecs-tracing.html#field-transaction-id) is now ingested as `log.transaction.id`, it is not ECS-compatible anymore.
