Hi all, Currently, I have a Elasticsearch + Kibana on a server for indexing 's log. I am planning to setup new APM + Elasticsearch just for indexing APM metrics on 2nd server, and I can use Kibana on the 1st server for searching and visualizing both data. The topo look similar like this: ![Elasticsearch&APM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/4/e/4efeb7a8e726e7bffd6e2800b8904f57b2f2d4db.png) Can anyone share any instructions or keywords that I can follow to deploy this. Thank you all. ---

Welcome to community @skyle52 . This setup is very common, we utilize this pattern heavily internally. with one tweak - instead of kibana communicating with two es clusters, use cross cluster search to have the es clusters do the communication and present a single endpoint to kibana. APM specific instructions can be found on [Cross-cluster search | APM User Guide [master] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/guide/master/cross-cluster-search.html). ---

Thank you Gil. I will setup cross cluster search ---

Hi Gil, Can you help me here. I cannot setup remote search cluster ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/4/0/40bdcaa8a21ee966335449051f56e4e796d2d13e.png) I have already setup transport.port: 9300 on my apm cluster but not able to connect. ---

@skyle52 sorry to hear it, the setup is straightforward on our [managed service](https://cloud.elastic.co), it seems you're self managing? I recommend opening a discuss topic in the [Elastic Stack CCS](https://discuss.elastic.co/tags/c/elastic-stack/elasticsearch/6/ccs-cross-cluster-search) topic with some more information including logs from the Elasticsearch instances. Please do link to that from here. ---
