Hi @Sara_YB ,

for Kibana have you enabled the kibana-xpack module in Metricbeat?

For APM, have you exposed the APM server port like described in step 12 of lab 8.3?

Hi @Sara_YB ,

please try running metricbeat from its directory and it should work. You can try the following commands:

ssh apm-server
cd metricbeat/
./metricbeat modules enable beat-xpack

Hi @Sara_YB ,

did you restart the APM server after you exposed port 5069?
