I found this in the tomcat startup log ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/0/6/06ec447133fd0dba31e903f06820dc3df7ce97c3.png) How to provide the service name with JAR? ---

See the [configuration documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/java/current/configuration.html). You can, for example, add an `elasticsearch.properties` file in the same folder as `elastic-apm-agent.jar`. ---

The issue is resolved now I can read both .JAR and Tomcat data in kibana. Below is the snapshot from Kibana. The reason Tomcat was not reading the data was because service\_name was not defined. Thus **elasticapm.properties`file You can place a`elasticapm.properties` in the same directory the agent jar resides in** , is mandatory configuration. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/1/f12ee717fe1797136c3cea434ee8f1c5071ecf0a.png) Thanks a lot for all the discussion and direction. ---
