**Kibana version** : 8.3.3

**Elasticsearch version** : 8.3.3

**APM Server version** : 8.3.3

**Opentelemetry java agent** : 1.18.0

**Steps to reproduce** :

1. Setup Elasticsearch, Kibana & APM server 8.3.3
2. Setup Opentelemetry collector to export otlp to Elastic APM
3. Instrumented java application using opentelemetry-javaagent
4. Configure application to export oltp telemetry data to Opentelemetry collector

Hi, I have this setup going:

java application (otlp) -\> Opentelemetry Collector -\> Elastic APM

Everything looks fine from Kibana, however I am unable to view any JVM related metrics

I changed the java agent to the Elastic Java agent and exported the telemetry data directly into Elastic APM and it seemed to worked:

Does anyone know whether this is intended behavior for Opentelemetry exported metrics to not show in the JVM tab or is this something I can configure to get it supported?

Hi @zirota ,

OpenTelemetry changed the metrics format for JVMs at some point, that's why it is not working with OTel Java agent version 1.18 and Elastic Stack version 8.3.

This [has been fixed recently](https://github.com/elastic/apm-server/issues/8042) in the Elastic APM Server and should be available with the next release of the Elastic Stack.
