Enable Observability in Spring Boot Application

Elastic Observability APM
1

I am trying to enable observability in Spring Boot application using ELK stack. I have done the following things so far and wondering what I do I need to corelate APM data with application logs.

  • I have installed Elastic APM Java agent in my spring boot application and been able to see the application in Kibana APM module.
  • I have setup apring boot application log shipping to Elastic Search using Filebeat and I can see log data in Kibana.

Now I am wondering how do I corelate the APM events with the corresponding log entries, so I can drill down to associated log entries when looking at an APM event.

I am fairly new to ELK stack, so I would appreciate any help or guidance in this regard. I am using version 7.10.0 for ELK and Filebeat. The APM java agent version is 1.18.1
