I'm working on a Framework 4.8 web application (C#) and using the latest NuGet packages:

- Elastic.Apm.AspNetFullFramework
- Elastic.Apm.NetCoreAll

I start new spans via `Transaction.StartSpan` (`Agent.Tracer.CurrentTransaction`). There is a transaction; I wrapped this transaction in a scoped service and manually end the transaction in the `Dispose` method. Everything works fine: I see the transactions and the created spans of different types (custom). Every span has `End()` called.

However, when I open **Observability → APM → Services → Transactions** , there are no spans or only very few, and only of the type `db.mssql.query`.

I am using the latest versions of APM Server, Elasticsearch, and Kibana via Docker.  
Data views: APM  
Index pattern: `traces-apm*,apm-*,logs-apm*,apm-*,metrics-apm*,apm-*`

**Example:**

When i investigate the transaction in Discover, there are 59 spans started ...

What am I doing wrong?

Is it due to the Kibana configuration (and how can it be properly configured?) or is it due to the code?
