Kibana i snot showing data when I go to Observability-\>APM-\>Services  
It doesn't show data neither in services, nor traces, nor dependencies

Kibana version: 8.15.3  
Elasticsearch version: 8.15.3  
APM Server version: 8.15.3 APM  
Agent language and version: go [go.elastic.co/apm/v2](http://go.elastic.co/apm/v2) v2.6.2

As soon as I press the APM option, it shows is if it was querying for a second or less and then the initial image as if APM was not integrated.  
APM integration was added and I can see data in Discover. See the image.

I have debug logs to share (attached)

You will see this log:  
**[2025-03-12T00:19:06.298+00:00][INFO][plugins.apm] create static data view apm\_static\_data\_view\_id\_default**

This is the name of the APM view

Hi @rodolk

Thanks for the APM Server logs but lets look at a few other items

> [@rodolk](#):
>
> APM integration was added and I can see data in Discover.

What data in Discover?

Can you to to Kibana -\> Dev Tools

and Run

`GET _cat/indices/traces-apm*/?v&s=index:desc`

Also did you look at the logs for the application when you started it.

The Elastic Go Agent will have provided some logs.

Thank you @stephenb for responding.

-I've seen APM data in Discover: 3M documents in the last 15 minutes  
-I haven't seen go agent logs. In Discover?  
-"Also did you look at the logs for the application when you started it.": do you mean the observed application/service that generates APM data and logs?

-I executed the command  
GET \_cat/indices/traces-apm\*/?v&s=index:desc

All index files shows as green and open

Ok That looks good

Are you logged in as the `elastic` user?

Did you make any changes in configuration in Kibana?

Can you go to Observability -\> APM -\> Settings -\> Indices and post a screen shot of what you have there?

Also show the Schema Tab

There may be a bug

Go to Kibana - Stack Management -\> Advanced Settings and make sure this is off

-I meant I see around 3 millions apm documents in the last 15 min, in Discover.  
-This is the query I sent in Dev Tools and I got that output. I thought it would be useful:

```auto

@stephenb latest news:

I found somebody in my group changed the configuration Multi signal APM in StackManagement-\>AdvancedSettings:  
**observability:apmEnableMultiSignal**

When this setting is on, I have the problem, when it is off, I don't have it anymore.

Also I found I have problems with the setting:  
**observability:apmLabsButton**

But a different one. In this case, when it is ON, I see the view I should see but no services. However I can see traces and dependencies.

Yeah that Entity feature is new ... just wanted to check.

This indices settings look correct.

The Schema looks fine, you are using APM server binary?  
Is this running in Elastic Cloud? of Self Managed /

Curious if you click the Add Data on the APM Screen and then Quit out does it leave you the same state?

I have 8.15.3

It's self managed  
I think it's APM server binary, the image for docker, with Kubernetes.

Can I add data manually? Which screen?

I am not that familiar with those settings I would need to look... but Yeah .. .don't do that!!  
Leave everything default unless you have a specific / known reason to change!
