Hi @shanu

Can you check if `DEBUG` is set to `True` in your settings.py file? The agent will only collect errors and transactions if it is set to `False`, or if `ELASTIC_APM["DEBUG"]` is set to `True`. See also [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/python/current/configuration.html#config-debug](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/python/current/configuration.html#config-debug)

OK, can you try to run these commands in your Django app folder?

```
./manage.py elasticapm check
./manage.py elasticapm test

```

The first command does a few sanity checks, the second one should send an error to the configured APM Server. It'll be called `TestException: Hi there!`. Can you paste the output from the two commands? Make sure to replace any details you don't want to share with `***`, like the values for`SECRET_TOKEN` or `SERVICE_NAME`.
