Hi,

I'm using 6.6.1 elastic and kibana version with APM agent. Agent is set and I'm receiving indexes, but I can't see APM menu item in kibana. I looked in documentation and it say that x-pack is needed, but from 6.3 elastic version x-pack is included by default, so I don't need to install it right?

Where did you download Kibana from? I wonder if you grabbed the Open-Source version.

Here are the downloads for Kibana 6.6.1.

You will need the default distribution installed - it's either not installed, or disabled. If you can get the `kibana.yml` you can confirm.
