Hi @DenishPatel , thanks for reporting this. The error suggests that the APM Integration is not installed, linking here [how to install the APM integration](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/guide/current/apm-server-configuration.html#_install_the_apm_integration). ---

Thanks for replying Silvia. And apologies for the delayed response. I tried to perform the steps mentioned in the link. However, when I click on "APM Integration", I get the following error: Error loading integration details Package must contain a top-level manifest.yml file. ---
