As mentioned here [Does APM support loopback?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/does-apm-support-loopback/112624) we don't have built-in support for Loopback yet. Your best bet at the moment is to try and use the Node.js Agent API to set it up: [Get started with a custom Node.js stack | APM Node.js Agent Reference [4.x] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/nodejs/current/custom-stack.html#custom-stack-route-naming)
