Not able to view http response headers in APM

[Rajat_Panwar]

Kibana version : 7.9.3

Elasticsearch version : 7.9.3

APM Server version : 7.9.3

APM Agent language and version : .NET, Custom
Browser version : Chrome 86, Windows 10

Original install method (e.g. download page, yum, deb, from source, etc.) and version : using elastic cloud

Fresh install or upgraded from other version? : Fresh install elastic cloud

Is there anything special in your setup? Nope

Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior. Please include screenshots (if relevant) : I have customized .NET agent to send logs to APM Server. Originally .NET APM agent does not support sending of http headers in the context of Span and neither it has http response model. But I believe its supported based on the APM Server schema defined here

elastic/apm-server

and here

General APM fields | APM Server Reference [7.9] | Elastic

So I have modified the agent to accommodate additional schema. This is the final JSON being sent to the APM Server.

But when I view it in APM, only partial data is shown in the span, no data from the context gets displayed.

And when I view the same span in discover, the http response headers is there, but the schema looks altered. instead of being inside context, its directly inside span.

Please suggest how I can get the missing context data displayed in the APM.

Thanks,

Only selected properties are shown in the Metadata tab. If you want to see all of them you'll have to use Discover as you're doing.

There's an open issue to display all of the properties: https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/71985. This will be added in a future release.
