Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior. Please include screenshots (if relevant):

Good afternoon. I would like to know if you can tell me which alternative I should use to modify in my "config/elastic_apm.yml" file the line "enabled_environments". My goal is to have the apm agent send tracking information in the local development environment, but I saw that "enabled_environments" was marked as deprecated in version 2.0.0 of the ruby apm agent. If you could kindly let me know, I would appreciate it, or if you could provide me with a url where I can check future alternatives to deprecated features, it would be a great help. Thank you very much

Errors in browser console (if relevant): no

Hi there! The agent supports Erb in the config file, so in config/elastic_apm.yml you can do something like:

disable_send: <%= !Rails.env.production? %>

This will let the agent do everything that it does up until the point of actually sending things to APM Server.
