**Kibana version** : 7.10.1 **Elasticsearch version** : 7.10.1 **APM Server version** : 7.10.1 **Original install method and version** : Package manager on Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa **Fresh install or upgraded from other version?** : Fresh Hi, i'm approaching the ELK stack and i'm trying to configure apm-server. I've installed (i think correctly) ELK and i could create/manage index and data. I have activated xpack basic licence to enable basic auth. I'm trying to install and configure apm server (on the same on-prem machine of the elk stack). This is my apm-server.yml configuration: * * * apm-server: host: "0.0.0.0:8200" #kibana kibana.enabled: true kibana.host: "[http://0.0.0.0:5601](http://0.0.0.0:5601)" kibana.username: "elastic" kibana.password: "changeme" #============ Outputs ======================= output.elasticsearch: hosts: ["0.0.0.0:9200"] enabled: true username: "elastic" password: "changeme" * * * Running 'systemctl start apm-server', the server seems start up correctly, but when i check from the kibana apm-server setup page i always get: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/4/8/483c36b32ef49868b90d7989c319a4963469e162.png) apm-server test config: Config OK apm-server test output: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/4/746186707ddd2733a81159645e2f5301caf60510.png) I've tryied to set up a nodejs agent app to see if the server was running correctly on :8200, and seems yes cause it is managing requests: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/3/1382ec52af83e3f7299228b6c947ee7998099a07.png) Is there something that i'm doing wrong? I've also see that apm-server was creating 'Legacy index templates' on start up.. is that correct? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/c/7c70acd7bcebaed452f455e934c8eae3fddd869c.png) **Steps to reproduce** : 1. Install the ELK stack 7.10.1 on Focal Fossa 2. Install and run apm-server with the above configuration **Provide logs and/or server output (if relevant)**: No error in logs ---

Did you setup any APM agent to send some data to APM server and see again ---

Yes, i've write it in the request: "I've tryied to set up a nodejs agent app to see if the server was running correctly on :8200, and seems yes cause it is managing requests:" ---

I've found the solution, it was my mistake. Everything was working fine but i was logged in kibana with an user that not have permissions to access apm -index. So this probably cause apm-server status check fail. Thank you all! ---
