Didn't find a way to upload the APM agent logs, I believe it would be useful for this issue. ---

Hi and welcome to the forum! I am not sure this wiremock setup relies on `Servlet`s. If it is not, this may explain why we don't capture anything. Try setting [`log_level`](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/java/current/config-logging.html#config-log-level) to `debug` and see in the agent log which instrumentations were applied. Log messages containing `Method match for instrumentation...` will tell you that. Then go through the rest of the log, it would tell you if there are errors, when a transaction/span is started/ended and so forth. Sorry that I cannot assist much further. We first need to know which of the [supported technologies](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/java/current/supported-technologies-details.html) are relevant and only then we may realize if there is a problem. ---

Thanks @Eyal_Koren . Is there a way to upload the agent log here in this thread? I have it with TRACE level enabled. ---

You can use [https://gist.github.com](https://gist.github.com). However, before I start digging into huge trace-level logs, I'd ask you to find out which of the supported technologies are expected to be captured when using your application, and to look into the logs yourself, trying to provide some more accurate info. ---

I have uploaded the file: [APM Agent log file ยท GitHub](https://gist.github.com/georgepopovici/008796f947ab6b4593f34451ac4c1e6e) Well, regarding supported technologies, I am new to it and I am unsure what I want. The goal is to have some transaction into Kibana APM Dashboard. The wiremock app allows doing some gets for specific URLs which returns a custom output. For example: ubuntu@app-vm:~/mappings$ cat mytest.json { "request": { "method": "GET", "url": "/api/mytest" }, "response": { "status": 200, "body": "More content\n" } } I would expect this transaction (the http get I am doing via browser) to show in Kibana APM. Appreciate your input! Best, George ---

Well, your log suggests that this wiremock setup doesn't rely on Servlets. The agent doesn't instrument anything that can create transactions, which is why you don't see them. ---

Thanks @Eyal_Koren . For my knowledge, could you paste here the line(s) that are indicating that wiremock does not rely on Servlets? Thanks again, George ---

It's not the presence of such lines, it's the absence of `Method match for instrumentation...` lines for Servlet-related instrumentations ๐Ÿ™‚ ---

Sounds like a good bye, I meant that you try another app instead, don't give up ๐Ÿ˜„ ---

Yea, I need to find another Java app to test the agent. Looking for a simple one, a Flask like app. Thanks, G ---
