**Kibana version** :  
7.3.1

**Elasticsearch version** :  
7.3.1  
**APM Server version** :  
7.3.1  
**APM Agent language and version** :  
elastic-apm-agent-1.9.0.jar  
**Browser version** :  
Firefox version 69  
**Original install method (e.g. download page, yum, deb, from source, etc.) and version**:  
deb  
**Fresh install or upgraded from other version?**  
Fresh install  
**Is there anything special in your setup?**  
Simple setup, I need to see how I can monitor tomcat application server using APM  
My elasticsearch server, kibana, apm server works fine, did the necessary changes in catalina.sh  
CATALINA\_OPTS="$JPDA\_OPTS $CATALINA\_OPTS"  
export CATALINA\_OPTS="$CATALINA\_OPTS -javaagent:/home/itsupport/elastic-apm-agent-1.9.0.jar"  
export CATALINA\_OPTS="$CATALINA\_OPTS -Delastic.apm.service\_name=my-tomcat"  
export CATALINA\_OPTS="$CATALINA\_OPTS -Delastic.apm.application\_packages=org.example,org.another.example"  
export CATALINA\_OPTS="$CATALINA\_OPTS -Delastic.apm.server\_urls=http://localhost:8200"

I have kept the "elastic-apm-agent-1.9.0.jar" , in the correct location as specified  
**My Issue**  
my APM client not connecting to the APM server, or I am not aware on which logs to check for APM client .  
On the kibana server I am getting message  
No data has been received from agents yet, while checking for agent status

Request guidance on trouble shooting the apm client part for tomcat,  
Thanks  
Joseph John

Hi Joseph,

If you are not seeing anything in your application logs, your script configurations are probably not applied. Validate your startup routine.

BTW, using `-Delastic.apm.application_packages=org.example,org.another.example` is wrong, unless your application packages are indeed `org.example` and `org.another.example`...

Good luck,  
Eyal.

Thanks Eyal  
You are right, my script configuration are not applied, I tried the same with JBoss in another instance and I am getting status back at Kibana.  
So I have not done the correct settings for tomcat  
About

> `-Delastic.apm.application_packages=`

I will get rectify it and update in the forum  
Thanks
