I want to perform monitoring for Elasticsearch and Kibana based on the following article [How to activate APM in Kibana and Elasticsearch to gain next-level alerting insights | Elastic Blog](https://www.elastic.co/blog/apm-kibana-elasticsearch-alerting-insights). After trying it out, the metrics from Elasticsearch do not appear in the APM menu in Kibana. Here is the docker-compose file I am using [docker-compose.yml](https://gist.github.com/armansaa/66eb5d1568eb9e9039a5f25b9d763514) Here are the logs from the APM server: ```auto

Hi @Kaizen , can you verify in Discover if the expected apm documents for Elasticsearch are indexed? Given that there are no error logs in the apm-server, I'd expect this to either be an instrumentation or a UI issue. ---

Hi @simitt , thank you for your response. I have attached a screenshot of the APM document that I obtained from the discover menu. Perhaps you know the versions of APM, Elastic, and Kibana used in the above article? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/8/7810bed40e4cbea45788554cefa508b80be38b81.jpeg) ---
