Are you running a hosted version of Kibana on [Elastic Cloud](https://www.elastic.co/cloud)?

We do currently not offer a fully hosted version of APM on Elastic Cloud (this is something we're planning to do, but I can't say when it will be ready).
However, if you can [run the APM Server](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/get-started/current/install-and-run.html) yourself, you can configure it to store data in your Elasticsearch cluster on Elastic Cloud.
This way you can collect APM data, query it, create custom dashboards etc.
But a big part of the APM experience is the dedicated APM app inside Kibana. Because we do not yet officially offer APM on Elastic Cloud, we do not show it in the left hand menu in Kibana, and we do not offer any support for it either of course. But if you're feeling adventurous, you can still access it via the URL. Just type the path `/app/apm` in the address bar of your browser and you should see the APM UI.

@leemason Hosted APM Server is currently under development and we'll offer it on [Elastic Cloud](https://www.elastic.co/cloud), but we don't have a release date yet. Keep an eye out for it on [our blog](https://www.elastic.co/blog).
