Why does APM Server appear on a service map?

Hi @erikg, do you mind sharing the APM server version, as well as the setup (e.g. standalone / Fleet-managed / Elastic Agent standalone)?

I cannot reproduce this with a new 8.15 deployment with fleet-managed apm-server.

Was the deployment involved in an upgrade, or is it created as a new 8.15.0 deployment? In apm-server version 8.11.0 to 8.12.0 this is expected as it collects local metrics, but it should no longer be the case from 8.12.1.

If it was not upgraded, we'll have to dig deeper into the issue.

@Carson_Ip  
your are correct, Elastic Agent version that is hosting the APM Integration is on 8.11.0.  
The APM integration is 8.15.0.  
So it looks like I need to upgrade the elastic agent itself

That explains it. Let me know how it goes.
