There is no `--daemon` flag, and `apm-server` does not support daemonising itself. What system are you running apm-server on? If you install the RPM or Debian package on a supported Linux OS, then you can use `systemctl` to run apm-server as a service: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/server/current/running-with-systemd.html#\_start\_and\_stop\_apm\_server](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/server/current/running-with-systemd.html#_start_and_stop_apm_server) ---
