Hi @vikascateina, Have you checked the APM server logs to make sure it is available and responding to pings? There may be errors or warnings that can help you figure out what is going on. I would also check the [troubleshooting guide](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/observability/current/apm-troubleshoot-apm.html) to see if any of those steps yield any insights. As an aside, I see you've disabled SSL and security settings. Is there a particular reason for that? It's not something we would recommend. Let us know! ---

Hi, The apm is up and I can ping.I want to check first that without username and password first it works or not. ---

Hi @vikascateina, It's difficult to say what the issue is without any errors or diagnostic information. Have you checked the [common problems](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/observability/current/apm-common-problems.html#apm-no-data-indexed) troubleshooting to see if you can find any further information?
