Hi @Pooja1992 , welcome to our forum 👋
Start in our [troubleshooting page](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/java/current/trouble-shooting.html#trouble-shooting-no-data) and see where it takes you.

Just in case you are not aware, APM requires an APM Server, so you may want to go over our [general APM guide](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/guide/current/index.html).

Sorry, I can't assist with each step of the setup.
Most of what you need is well documented. Some relevant examples:
> **[Troubleshooting | APM Java Agent Reference \[1.x\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/java/current/trouble-shooting.html#trouble-shooting-logging)**
> **[Configuration | APM Java Agent Reference \[1.x\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/java/current/configuration.html)**

This is a forum for asking questions on specific issues, we cannot provide full support here.
Our documentation is full of resources that you need to go through in order to get the most out of our solutions.
Nevertheless, I did go through your setup, so I can provide some advice:
The major issue is that you didn't understand how the agent is setup through the `-javaagent` argument. If you go through the [relevant setup page](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/java/current/setup-javaagent.html), you can see that it is added to your application's command line as an additional command line argument. The agent is not a Java application, it attaches to a Java application. With that regard, the [`service_name`](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/java/current/config-core.html#config-service-name) is not a configuration to your application path.
I hope this is sufficient advice to get you to the next step, but this doesn't replace reading the guides.
Good luck.

Hi,
It's working now.
Data is reporting back to the dashboard.
Pls, let us know where we can check the DB queries in the dashboard.
Thanks!
