If you are asking about a problem you are experiencing, please use the following template, as it will help us help you. If you have a different problem, please delete all of this text 🙂

TIP 1: select at least one tag that further categorizes your topic. For example `server` for APM Server related questions, `java` for questions regarding the Elastic APM Java agent, or `ui` for questions about the APM App within Kibana.

TIP 2: Check out the [troubleshooting guide](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/get-started/current/troubleshooting.html) first. Not only will it help you to resolve common problems faster but it also explains in more detail which information we need before we can properly help you.

**Kibana version** : 8.11.3

**Elasticsearch version** : 8.11.3

**APM Server version** : 8.11.3

**APM Agent language and version** : Node.JS `4.3.0`

**Browser version** :

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

**Fresh install or upgraded from other version?** Upgrade from `8.11.previous`

**Is there anything special in your setup?** For example, are you using the Logstash or Kafka outputs? Are you using a load balancer in front of the APM Servers? Have you changed index pattern, generated custom templates, changed agent configuration etc.

**Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior. Please include screenshots (if relevant)**:  
I am using ECK `8.11.3` and see the following error message from APM. There is no services shown in the APM integration page in Kibana at all.

```auto

Hi @khteh ,

do you see any errors in the APM Server logs?  
Could you also provide some more details regarding your setup - from which version did you upgrade and are you seeing the error for an apm app that was previously working as expected?

I upgraded from 8.11.0. The error log provided is from the application which has APM agent installed. Saw the following error in APM server:

[my-apm-server-9c7dd86fc-6crpz apm-server] {"log.level":"error","@timestamp":"2023-12-20T13:29:14.393Z","log.logger":"beater","log.origin":{"file.name":"beater/waitready.go","file.line":64},"message":"precondition failed: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority (possibly because of "crypto/rsa: verification error" while trying to verify candidate authority certificate "apm-http")","service.name":"apm-server","ecs.version":"1.6.0"}

@khteh before we start digging into this, can you confirm that the connection between the _same_ apm agent and apm-server was working successfully in `8.11.0` and that there were _no changes_ at all related to your TLS setup?
