Fresh install or upgraded from other version? fresh

Is there anything special in your setup? the apm-server is installed as a service in the host, and the agent is installed on docker
Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior. Please include screenshots (if relevant): No data has been received from agents yet.

deleted and prune all older images and containers, docker-compose build, and docker-compose up.

Hi.

Do you also set some php.ini files to communicate the data to the APM server?

elastic_apm.server_url="http://link-to-apm-server-or-container.ext:port"
elastic_apm.secret_token="Your uber secret token"
elastic_apm.service_name="Name of Application"
elastic_apm.environment="staging"

There is also an APM container needed to receive the data. Do you have to running also?
