Installed Elastic, APM Server, and Kibana 7.8 version on Mac. Using all default configurations for APM Server. APM Server is listening on 8200 port. The curl [http://localhost:8200](http://localhost:8200) is returning successfully.  
curl 127.0.0.1:8200

  "version": "7.8.0"
}

```

However, APM Agent is unable to connect to APM Server and throwing the following error. Please help me in resolving this error.

Hi and welcome to the forum 👋

It seems like your are trying to instrument Elasticsearch with the Java agent. This is currently not supported. You get the access denied error because of the security manager settings of Elasticsearch.

However, when using the Java agent in the applications that make requests to Elasticsearch, it will record the queries.
