Hi,

Elasticsearch - v7.10.1  
Kibana - V7.10.1  
APM Server - V7.10.1  
APM Java agent - V1.20.0

Recently upgraded to Elastic stack to 7.10.1.

In Kibana APM JVM UI, apart from the actual JVM there is an `(Empty)` JVM is showing up, as shown below.

All the CPU/Memory metrics are showing up the actual JVM, but trying to understand why the `(Empty)` JVM is showing up.

In discover, I tried to find the data with service.node.name is blank, getting the following results

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/e/3/e3e09d60d635f49c858be0ca43d81bb50112da24.png)

Wondering whether we can ignore the `(Empty)` or not.

Any inputs will be appreciated.

Thanks,  
Chandra

This problem may have to do with your upgrade. According to the issue below when the field `service.node.name` is not part of the mapping index this seems to happen. New indices created with the right template should have this field but not older ones.

Hi @chandra2037 - this is a bug in 7.10 that was fixed in 7.11: [[APM] Filter out service nodes if there are no metrics · Issue #85539 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/85539). To answer your question, yes, you can ignore the (Empty) list item if there are no corresponding metrics.

Thank you for your response @riferrei , all the templates and indices have been updated properly. Actual JVM metrics data is getting reported to the named JVM only, it is just that additional `(Empty)` JVM is showing up.

Thank you @dgieselaar , that make sense. Will upgrade to 7.11 for the fix.
