Hey there 🙂

**Kibana version** : 7.5.1

**Elasticsearch version** : 7.5.1

**APM Server version** : 7.5.1

**APM Agent language and version** : Nodejs with koa using apm agent 3.6.1

**Original install method (e.g. download page, yum, deb, from source, etc.) and version**: We get elasticsearch as a could service and host the kibana and apm docker images with a custom bootstrap to get creds out of a vault but they don't change anything on the app. The node packages are downloaded through npm

**Is there anything special in your setup?** We use cloudfoundry so there's a nginx loadbalancer infront of the apm and kibana server.

**Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior. Please include screenshots (if relevant)**:  
We use strapi as a cms. with it goes koa and therfor the @koa/router which should be supported as of the apm nodejs agent docs. We include the option `usePathAsTransactionName: true` at the start which in my understanding should get us something like `/navigations` or `/project-pages/4` and not always `/*`. This seems weird as all our other stuff with express seems to work

**Steps to reproduce** :

1. Create a strapi project & setup apm
2. Create your api, use it and see the result in kibana
