If you are asking about a problem you are experiencing, please use the following template, as it will help us help you. If you have a different problem, please delete all of this text 🙂 TIP 1: select at least one tag that further categorizes your topic. For example `server` for APM Server related questions, `java` for questions regarding the Elastic APM Java agent, or `ui` for questions about the APM App within Kibana. TIP 2: Check out the [troubleshooting guide](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/get-started/current/troubleshooting.html) first. Not only will it help you to resolve common problems faster but it also explains in more detail which information we need before we can properly help you. **Kibana version** : 7.10.2 **Elasticsearch version** : 7.10.2 **APM Server version** : 7.10.2 **APM Agent language and version** : node **Browser version** : **Original install method (e.g. download page, yum, deb, from source, etc.) and version**: RPM **Fresh install or upgraded from other version?** fresh **Is there anything special in your setup?** For example, are you using the Logstash or Kafka outputs? Are you using a load balancer in front of the APM Servers? Have you changed index pattern, generated custom templates, changed agent configuration etc. Using logstash & filebeat of same version **Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior.

Hi @divnoor_singh , you seem to be trying to set up a fairly outdated version of the apm server, `7.10.2` was released roughly 2 years ago. I highly recommend trying a newer version, for which we still release patch fixes. Is it feasible for you to try out `8.6`, or if you'd like to stay on major version 7, `7.17`? ---

Thanks @simitt for replying. Like I mentioned, my elasticsearch and kibana version is 7.10.2. Is it not mandatory to have apm-server of same version? Otherwise I can try other version of 7.x ---

Hey @simitt. I have tried installing apm-server of version 7.17.2, keeping everything same. It's giving me compatibility error, as predicted:( ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/e/fe995cecf4f8fb28c43171c4085ffa95242eb366.png) ---

Sorry for being unclear, I meant whether it is feasible to update the whole stack to a more recent version. ---
