> [@Youssef\_CHTOUROU](#): > > `io.micrometer.elastic.ElasticMeterRegistry` This is not related to the APM agent, it is a micrometer meter registry implementation that publishes metrics to Elasticsearch. Its configuration should contain a valid address for an accessible Elasticsearch cluster and not for the APM Server. However, if you upgrade your Java agent to the latest version, you can use any other meter registry and the agent will ship your [micrometer metrics](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/java/current/metrics.html#metrics-micrometer) instead to Elasticsearch, through the APM Server. ---
