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