Hi, I am evaluating APM for my service and I am going through the frameworks APM is supporting from the network client perspective. ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/java/current/supported-technologies-details.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/java/current/supported-technologies-details.html)) I didn't find support for hystrix there. Are hystrix call captured in transactions like how APM works for normal apache/jersey client ---

Hi and thanks for the question! I am not familiar with Hystrix, but unless it embeds a supported client, it would not be supported. A few options are available to you in this case: 1. Rely on some Hystrix interceptors (or similar concept) that allows you to do see requests and responses as they occur and use our [public API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/java/current/public-api.html) to trace them 2. Find an OpenTracing library that traces it and use our [OpenTracing integration](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/java/current/opentracing-bridge.html) 3. Use the OpenTelemetry agent in combination with our [OpenTelemetry integration](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/get-started/current/open-telemetry-elastic.html) I hope this helps. ---

This is the hystrix which I am talking about. ---

Eyal, Did you get a chance to look at Hystrix? ---

Only a bit, it is not supported and unfortunately there are no current plans to support it. ---
