I want to configure agent APM Python Django with Elastic Agent, but don't know where this configuration goes, what es the file or filepath please?

//

# Add the agent to the installed apps

INSTALLED\_APPS = (  
'elasticapm.contrib.django',

# ...

)

ELASTIC\_APM = {

# Set the required service name. Allowed characters:

# a-z, A-Z, 0-9, -, \_, and space

#'SERVICE\_NAME': 'unknown-python-service',

# Use if APM Server requires a secret token

'SECRET\_TOKEN': '\*\*\*\*\*\*',

# Set the custom APM Server URL (default: [http://localhost:8200](http://localhost:8200))

'SERVER\_URL': '\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*',

# Set the service environment

'ENVIRONMENT': 'production',  
}

# To send performance metrics, add our tracing middleware:

MIDDLEWARE = (  
'elasticapm.contrib.django.middleware.TracingMiddleware',  
#...  
)  
//
