@lekshmir80 welcome to the forum! Can you tell me what you're trying to diagnose with `netstat`? Is APM Server not accepting requests from your agents? Are the agents running on the same host? We can see from the log that APM Server is listening on `localhost:8200` -- this is the default. Assuming your agents are on another host, you will need to tell APM Server to listen on an external address by configuring `apm-server.host` in `apm-server.yml`. For example, you can set `apm-server.host: 0.0.0.0:8200` to listen on all network interfaces. ---

Thank you Andrew, My apm-server.yml file looks like this ```auto apm-server: host: "localhost:8200" output.elasticsearch: hosts: ["localhost:9200"] username: "elastic" password: "changeme" ``` But still I am getting http connection error ---

This happens when APM Server exceeds the maximum number of requests that it can process concurrently. HTTP 503: Request timed out waiting to be processededit Reduce the sample rate. Reduce collected stacktrace information. Reduce the payload size. Add APM Server instances. Regards, Rachel Gomez ---

> [@lekshmir80](#): > > But still I am getting http connection error Can you please elaborate on this? Are you attempting to connect APM Server using `curl` or something? If so, are you running this on the same machine? Otherwise, are you observing errors in an APM Agent's log? Are the agents running on the same machine? ---

Hello @axw, I've been having the same problem, but i'm using elastic agent on version 7.17.7 on docker/kubernetes. Logs show apm server is listening on [::]:8200 but everytime i try to curl from other host or even localhost i get connection refused error. From within container netstat doesn't show 8200 port at all. I have created another [topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/apm-host-on-standalone-elastic-agent/317695) about it. Thanks for your time ---
