Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hey,
I am connecting elastic apm with spring boot application, I am able to connect my application with .jar file, but now when I am trying it with .war file I am not able to do it due to the following errors.
When I am running this command I am getting this error.

java -javaagent:/home/abcd/Desktop/elastic-apm/apm-agent-attach-1.5.0/elastic-apm-agent.jar -war spring-mvc-example.war
getting this error.

Unrecognized option: -war
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

And when I am running this command
java -javaagent:/home/abcd/Desktop/elastic-apm/apm-agent-attach-1.5.0/elastic-apm-agent.jar spring-mvc-example.war

Getting this error

A war is something meant to be deployed in a Web Server like Tomcat for example (WAR mean Web ARchive). It is not meant to be run as a jar unless it has also an embedded main jar.

Okay,
I'll try with that.
