Is this related to your [other discuss post](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/apm-server-logs-not-being-generated/195776) or a separate issue? Providing more informatiotn help us help you better:

- What is the full apm-server.yml configuration (format by surrrounding with triple backticks ```)
- What is the full apm-server log
- How is apm-server started? - you mention kuberrnetes, are you using a custom image?
