We wants to use elastic APM in apache storm based application. In one storm cluster, we have multiple topologies running which are doing different functions altogether. We wants to give service name for each topology rather than workers as one worker can have multiple topologies running on it . is it possible to do this?

Hi @Nikhil_Bhaware and welcome to our forum!

Unfortunately, we don't have this kind of flexibility with regard to service devision within a JVM (which is a worker process in this case I assume).

Out of curiosity, do you get useful info only based on the automatic agent instrumentation, or do you apply any additional instrumentation (e.g. using the public API)? What kind of transaction do you get? Is there any kind of distributed tracing when processing crosses between nodes?
