I'm using Spring Boot 3.0.x with agent elastic-apm-agent-1.36.0.jar

I tried given solution that seems to be adding following parameter to my agent

`ELASTIC_APM_DISABLE_INSTRUMENTATIONS=servlet-api`

but I still have same behaviour. Any additional recommandation on this ?

Spring Boot 3 support has been added in APM Agent version 1.38.0, so it is not supported by the version you are using.

Please upgrade to the latest agent version, this should fix your issue.

Also a good alternative I found in your documentation this morning:

`ELASTIC_APM_USE_PATH_AS_TRANSACTION_NAME=true`

in association with

`ELASTIC_APM_TRANSACTION_NAME_GROUPS=true`

Make the job showing the API endpoints (not the Spring controller)

Alternative doesn't group all element correctly

Update to 1.43 solved the issue
