If you are asking about a problem you are experiencing, please use the following template, as it will help us help you. If you have a different problem, please delete all of this text 🙂

**Kibana version** : 6.3.1

**Elasticsearch version** : 6.3.1

**APM Server version** : 6.8.5

**APM Agent language and version** : Java, 1.12

**Browser version** : Chrome 78.0.3904.108

**Original install method (e.g. download page, yum, deb, from source, etc.) and version**: Downloaded rpm and installed using yum

**Fresh install or upgraded from other version?** Fresh

**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. Using Logstash

**Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior. Please include screenshots (if relevant)**: Installed, config and run apm-server (everythings looks good). Installed java-agent and restarded the app. Checked connection with tcpdump and there's no problem. But I can't see any APM data in Kibana.

apm-server automatically created some indexes which I can see.

Can you please check the Java agent logs and the APM Server logs for potential issues.

Hi! Thanks for the response. I checked tomcat logs, getting some exceptios which I fixed. Now, this is what I got:

2019-12-04 15:00:25.888 [apm-remote-config-poller] DEBUG co.elastic.apm.agent.configuration.ApmServerConfigurationSource - This APM Server does not support central configuration. Update to APM Server 7.3+

I'm upgrading ELK + APM-Server now. I'll keep you in touch.

Regards.
