**Kibana version** : v 7.4.0

**Elasticsearch version** : 7.4.0

**APM Server version** : 7.9.0

**APM Agent language and version** : Java, 1.18.0

**Is there anything special in your setup?** For example, are you using the Logstash or Kafka outputs? Are you using a load balancer in front of the APM Servers? Have you changed index pattern, generated custom templates, changed agent configuration etc.  
Yes, We have 2 apm server setups, each sending to different ES indices.  
config for one setup:  
index: "apm-cp106-%{[observer.version]}-%{[processor.event]}-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}"  
setup.template.name: "apm-%{[observer.version]}"  
setup.template.pattern: "apm-\*"

Config for second setup:  
index: "apm-cp3-%{[observer.version]}-%{[processor.event]}-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}"  
setup.template.name: "apm-%{[observer.version]}"  
setup.template.pattern: "apm-\*"

**Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior. Please include screenshots (if relevant)**:  
We are able to see services only from one APM server(one index)

**Steps to reproduce** :

1. Setup 2 apm server with different index
2. check in UI if we are able to see both services

By default the UI will display data from apm-\*. You can change this via kibana.yml or via the UI. See the [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/apm-settings-in-kibana.html) for details.

If this doesn't fix it please make sure that both APM Server are correctly ingesting data to elasticsearch. Can you for instance see data from both APM Servers in Discover?

Let me know if that helps.

As we are using Kibana version 7.4.0, we cant navigate to see APM \> Settings \> Indices.

We will try updating kibana.yaml.

We are able to see data from both APM servers in discover.
