Hi Team,

We are using ELK 6.8.7 with APM tool for Application Dashboards.  
We want to create some custom dashboard which requires some application specific data , which is currently not available so is there any way to add additional attributes in built-in APM JSON? if yes, how to add those attributes?  
Kindly help.

Thanks,  
Sheetal
