I am currently working through the elastic Observability engineer course and this is the second time I have experienced this issue (an email to support got them to reset the environment and the issue happened again). I am on lab 3.3 and after following all of the steps and restarting the docker container my pet-clinic java service completely stopped, I am not sure what the issue is or even how to troubleshoot this without completely breaking everything. I will put screenshots of the my configurations after completing the lab steps below.

Also forgot to mention that the Node.js service never shows up in my APM services section and that is where my java service stopped showing throughput
