Hi Team, I have hosted an apm-server on one of my servers with host as localhost:8200. I am using a java application via tomcat and I have provided -Delastic.apm.server\_url=http://apm-server-ip:8200 But the java application provides the below error ERROR co.elastic.apm.agent.report.IntakeV2ReportingEventHandler - Error trying to connect to APM Server at http:// **.**. **.** :8200/intake/v2/events. Some details about SSL configurations corresponding the current connection are logged at INFO level. 2021-08-18 19:49:42,956 [elastic-apm-server-reporter] ERROR co.elastic.apm.agent.report.IntakeV2ReportingEventHandler - Failed to handle event of type JSON\_WRITER with this error: Connection refused (Connection refused) 2021-08-18 19:49:42,956 [elastic-apm-server-reporter] INFO co.elastic.apm.agent.report.IntakeV2ReportingEventHandler - Backing off for 0 seconds (+/-10%) 2021-08-18 19:49:43,154 [elastic-apm-server-reporter] ERROR co.elastic.apm.agent.report.IntakeV2ReportingEventHandler - Error trying to connect to APM Server at http:// **.**. **.** :8200/intake/v2/events.

Hi, can you please fire this link [http://apm-server-ip:8200](http://apm-server-ip:8200) and share output, but use command line or internet browser. If you are using Linux OS, you can fire this command: curl "[http://apm-server-ip:8200](http://apm-server-ip:8200)". ---
