Hello,

I recently installed elastic, kibana and apm in 7.6.0 and I wanted to test the APM service map feature. I struggle to enable it within kibana. I was not able to make visible the link "Service Map" even using xpack.apm.serviceMapEnabled: true

Is there another configuration that need to be done to enable it ?  
I found no reference in the documentation to this feature, is it still part of releases ?  
On this node I only have Basic licence, do I need a Gold or above to use this feature ?

Thank you in advance for your help.  
Regards,  
Martin

Hi @Martin_BR, thanks for your message.

You must have a **Platinum** license in order to use the Service Map. You can request a 30 days trial. Were you able to see the `Service Map` tab on the home page after enabling `xpack.apm.serviceMapEnabled:true` on kibana.yml file?? Like:

Hi @caue.marcondes,  
Thank you for your answer, it is clearer for me. I will try with a trial then move to my main cluster.
