Hi @xacobecm,  
not all collected data are indexed by default; if you want to index additional fields, you can configure the [**`setup.template.append_fields`**](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/server/current/configuration-template.html) in your `apm-server.yml`. Also see some [previous posts](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/apm-index-not-refreshing-in-kibana-getting-mapper-exception/243063/5) with an example and some more details.
