  hosts: ["localhost:9200"]
  username: "elastic"
  password: "elastic"

then run service apm-server start .

configured Node side as bellow

var apm = require('elastic-apm-node').start({
    serviceName: 'MyApp',
    serverUrl: 'http://localhost:8200'
  })

Hi,

Is the process running? what does ps -ef | grep apm-server say?

If it is not running, can you try sudo -u apm-server apm-server -e ? What does stdout/stderr say?

Thank you @jalvz. sudo -u apm-server apm-server -e worked for me.

Glad to hear! You initially mentioned that service apm-server status was showing an error. If you kill that sudo -u apm-server apm-server -e and try again with server apm-server start, does it work?
Do you find a log file /var/log/apm-server/apm-server ?
