I'm trying to send logs to the APM server and thus can see it in transactions associated logs. I've simply followed the simple doc [Built-in instrumentation modules | APM Go Agent Reference [1.x] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/go/current/builtin-modules.html#builtin-modules-apmzap).
**Kibana version** : 7.13
**Elasticsearch version** : 7.13
**APM Server version** : 7.13
**APM Agent language and version** : module/apmzap
**Original install method (e.g. download page, yum, deb, from source, etc.) and version**: using go package downloader
**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. No, just a minimal docker-compose-based APM server.
**Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior. Please include screenshots (if relevant)**: I'm only seeing that logging out is only available in the terminal (stdout). I believe it is supposed to be also available on the APM server, thus not getting it in the server.
This is my simple env config:
```auto
ELASTIC_APM_LOG_FILE=stderr=stdout
ELASTIC_APM_LOG_LEVEL=debug
ELASTIC_APM_SERVICE_NAME=my-new-service
ELASTIC_APM_SERVER_URL=http://localhost:8200
```
**Steps to reproduce** :
1. I've used the simple example provided herein the doc: [https://github.com/elastic/apm-agent-go/edit/1.x/docs/instrumenting.asciidoc](https://github.com/elastic/apm-agent-go/edit/1.x/docs/instrumenting.asciidoc)
**Provide logs and/or server output (if relevant)**:
Output is basically to the stdout terminal but not the APM server:
```auto
{"level":"info","msg":"handling request","trace.id":"328d53d8a1d43dfee988e191d2ea2792","transaction.id":"328d53d8a1d43dfe"}
{"level":"error","msg":"handling error","trace.id":"328d53d8a1d43dfee988e191d2ea2792","transaction.id":"328d53d8a1d43dfe"
```

Welcome to the forum @MerNat!
In case it's unclear, `apmzap` is not intended for sending _all_ logs to APM Server, only error logs. Having said that, you have shown error logs in the output above; that one should be sent to the server.
Can you please provide the agent logs? Above you said you've configured `ELASTIC_APM_LOG_FILE=stderr=stdout`; it should be just `ELASTIC_APM_LOG_FILE=stderr` (or `=stdout`). They may give a clue as to why the error events aren't being sent to the server.

Thank you for your reply and help @axw 🙂
Actually, I'm getting the error log now after I removed `ELASTIC_APM_SERVER_URL=http://localhost:8200`.
