Hi @Amol_Nagotkar,

Can you confirm how you are capturing the custom spans? Are you using OTel or the Elastic Node.js APM agent?

Hi @Amol_Nagotkar,

Thanks for the detail. For redis, rabbitmq and mongodb are you using the respective JS-packages to connect with your DB? Or another mechanism. I do see Redis and MongoDB client support listed in the compatible technologies for the agent, subject to version compatibility:

For Redis and MongoDB provided you are using compatible versions of the referenced libraries queries will be captured. I don't see anything listed for Rabbit-MQ. These capabilities should be available on the free tier.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the reply.
My mongo, redis versions are compatible with the doc mentioned above, still it doesnt capture span automatically. i have to add it manually.
