**Kibana version** : 9.3.0

**Elasticsearch version** : 9.3.0

**APM Server version** : 9.3.0

**Browser version** : Firefox/Safari

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

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

**Is there anything special in your setup?** Kafka outputs → Vector → Elasticsearch

Are you using a load balancer in front of the APM Servers? - no

Have you changed index pattern, generated custom templates, changed agent configuration etc - yes i read data from kafka and put into index like

```auto
bulk:
  action: "create"
  index: "{{ data_stream.type }}-{{ data_stream.dataset }}-{{ data_stream.namespace }}"

```

**Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior. Please include screenshots (if relevant)**:

if i go to url  
_/apm/link-to/trace/6ff0d84cbf36ec30c527fa5102d32328_

as result it redirect me to page looks like

_apm/services/test/transactions/view?comparisonEnabled=true&rangeFrom=2026-03-17T13:00:00.000Z&rangeTo=2026-03-17T13:05:00.000Z&traceId=6ff0d84cbf36ec30c527fa5102d32328&transactionId=dc66f753d22c50a8&transactionName=test\_test&transactionType=messaging&offset=1d_

And i view propetly page with one transaction

its ok good.

Than i use another link (same service)

_apm/link-to/trace/39fd3cbce0a6cdfd03c9d932e9df7ef9_

its redirect me to page

_/apm/services/test/transactions/view?comparisonEnabled=true&rangeFrom=2026-03-17T13:00:00.000Z&rangeTo=2026-03-17T13:05:00.000Z&traceId=39fd3cbce0a6cdfd03c9d932e9df7ef9&transactionId=116f99c4d36794b3&transactionName=test\_test&transactionType=messaging&offset=1d_

and i view all transaction by this period like

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/0/c/0c1bab00c346b8d5d180fef7d9c23348221e6b2d.png)

ok i try manual apply filter… and magic its find this transaction…

i try enable Inspect button but there too many queries for compare it

ok i look at link after apply filter and its add to url

```auto
kuery=trace.id:f237e00a49ba60e83f1c08fcef643a02

```

i think its will good if url _apm/link-to/trace/39fd3cbce0a6cdfd03c9d932e9df7ef9_ can got param **kuery**
