There is already an output.elasticsearch configuration in the original docker image, what should I do to close it?

If I set output.elasticsearch.enable: false, how can I output the template of apm-server to elasticsearch?

There are a lot of errors on apm ui, I don’t know what’s going on

Is that "apm-server:7.7.1" image an alias for [docker.elastic.co/apm/apm-server:7.7.1](https://container-library.elastic.co/r/apm/apm-server:7.7.1)? Or have you built your own image? The Docker images we build are configured via the `apm-server.yml` file, and since you're overriding the file I don't understand how you would end up with that error message.

Anyway, there are typos in your config; you should use "enabled" and not "enable". See [Configure the Elasticsearch output | APM User Guide [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/server/current/elasticsearch-output.html#_enabled)

> There are a lot of errors on apm ui, I don’t know what’s going on

I don't know either. I'd suggest opening a separate topic for that, and provide the Kibana logs.

Thank you for your reply, I am using [docker.elastic.co/apm/apm-server:7.7.1](http://docker.elastic.co/apm/apm-server:7.7.1)  
Sorry, my no certification check character is wrong. I will modify and test again.  
I have a question, is apm ui generated by apmserver template?
