**Kibana version** : 7.9.1

**Elasticsearch version** :7.9.1

**APM Server version** :7.9.1

**APM Agent language and version** : golang, 1.8.0

**Original install method (e.g. download page, yum, deb, from source, etc.) and version**:  
helm install

**Fresh install or upgraded from other version?**  
fresh install

output is elastic search.  
load balancer is nginx ingress

APM all default settings.

sorry for my short english.  
all operation is well done, but APM server /intake/v2/events POST response is too long.  
almost 10 seconds..

flow is  
golang agent -\> APM domain name -\> ingress nginx -\> APM server pods  
pods count is 3.

I use golang apmzap, apmchi, apmclient.

apm index

Welcome to the forum, @badtimo!

This is expected. The Go agent (and most other agents) streams events to the server continuously. Each HTTP request is closed after 10 seconds, and a new one is created.

1. Is this connection stream keep-alive? How many connections will there be per pod?
2. Will this connection have a small performance impact on other requests?  
I'm serving several domain in one nginx ingress controller.  
I think this long connection will affect nginx's concurrent connections limits..

Thank you for your kind response.

> 1. Is this connection stream keep-alive? How many connections will there be per pod?

Yes. The Go agent creates just one a single connection at a time, and will reuse it like short requests on a keep-alive connection.

I wouldn't expect there to be any difference in connections if you have a busy application, unless keep-alive were disabled. We have never heard of any issues from users related to this behaviour.

Nevertheless, if you want to you can reduce the request time if you wish to:

> [Configuration | APM Go Agent Reference [2.x] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/go/current/configuration.html#config-api-request-time)

I would only recommend changing away from the defaults if you observe some issues with them.
