I am not getting the service.environment in kibana/elasticsearch as expected,  
My config in django settings

```auto
ELASTIC_APM = {
    'SERVICE_NAME': 'backend',
    'SECRET_TOKEN': 'myroken',
    'SERVER_URL': 'myaddress',
    'ELASTIC_APM_ENVIRONMENT': 'DEV',
    'DJANGO_TRANSACTION_NAME_FROM_ROUTE': True,
}

```

APM  
**Kibana version** : 7.9.2

**Elasticsearch version** : 7.9.2

**APM Server version** : 7.9.2

**APM Agent language and version** : django2.2 /python3.6 elastic-apm==5.10.0

Hi @soudhaf Welcome to the community.

I think per [this](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/python/current/configuration.html#config-environment) it should just look like below

```auto
ELASTIC_APM = {
   'SERVICE_NAME': 'backend',
   'SECRET_TOKEN': 'myroken',
   'SERVER_URL': 'myaddress',
   'ENVIRONMENT': 'DEV',
   'DJANGO_TRANSACTION_NAME_FROM_ROUTE': True,
}

```
