Set service environment from apm-server.yml

Elastic Observability APM
1

Hi,

I have elk stack 7.11.1 setup with apm as central server.
Have configured apm for java microservice and getting data in elasticsearch properly.
Have 2 questions

  1. I haven't set service environment variable in agent config and want to do it on central server. I have tried following.

    apm-server.default_service_environment: "Production"

  2. I will be having multiple microservices for multiple applications so will like to create a field application : value when service.name contains some string.

Thanks and Regards,
Bryce Fernandes.

Hi @Bryce_Fernandes
what do you mean by " create a field application : value" ?

Hi @nugusbayevkk ,

So I have an application with 40 microservices. Application name is Instaclaim.
Now in apm tab I can get 40 microservices by 40 names. What I want to do is create a field "Application_name": "Instaclaim" , "Application_name": "ESB".

This should be created after matching part of string present in service.name.

Bryce Fernandes.

That is the way to do it. The apm-server.default_service_environment config was introduced in 7.13.0, which was just released last week, so you would need to upgrade.

At the moment we don't have any configuration to do this centrally, though it sounds like a good feature request -- associating services with business applications.

You have at least two options that I can think of:
