Hi, I'm trying to set up Elastic APM on a dotnet mvc app. Testing with a dotnet core console app but my intended setup is for a regular dotnet framework project in mvc. I have Elasticsearch and Kibana set up. I have my Elastic Agent running Fleet set up and self-signing ssl certs. Fleet status is healthy. Diagnostics look clean. However, when I go to run the sample apm-agent-dotnet console app I get ```auto {CentralConfigurationFetcher} Exception was thrown while fetching configuration from APM Server and parsing it. ETag: `'. URL: `https://:8220/config/v1/agents?service.name=SampleConsoleNetCoreApp&service.environment=Production'. Apm Server base URL: `https://:8220/'. WaitInterval: 5m. dbgIterationsCount: 9. +-> Request: Method: GET, RequestUri: 'https://:8220/config/v1/agents?service.name=SampleConsoleNetCoreApp&service.environment=Production', Version: 1.1, Content: , Headers: { User-Agent: apm-agent-dotnet/1.18.0 User-Agent: (SampleConsoleNetCoreApp 1.0.0) User-Agent: System.Net.Http/4.700.22.47602 User-Agent: .NET_Core/3.1.30 Request-Id: |47ae3bf2-4d058de53621017d. } +-> Response: StatusCode: 404, ReasonPhrase: 'Not Found', Version: 1.1, Content: System.Net.Http.HttpConnectionResponseContent, Headers: { X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff Date: Thu, 03 Nov 2022 19:22:48 GMT Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: 19 } +-> Response body [length: 19]: 404 page not found ``` Also when I go to visit the url directly I can see the ssl cert in the browser but also receiving the 404 error. Is this a config issue with the elastic server? As far as I can tell my port is open on 8220. I'm not sure what a good next step to take would be. I see nothing on the receiving Elastic Agent / Fleet side so the payload is just not making it over. Meaning no errors to show on the Elastic Agent / Fleet side. Another line in the debug output for my console app ```auto } Failed sending event. Events intake API absolute URL: https://:8220/intake/v2/events. APM Server response: status code: NotFound, content: 404 page not found ``` ---

Hi Daniel, did you use [NuGet](https://www.nuget.org/packages?q=Elastic.apm) to deploy the APM .NET Agent to your application? Can you also check your configuration for me, please? At the very minimum you need to configure `ServerUrl` and `SecretToken` (see [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/dotnet/current/configuration-on-asp-net-core.html)). -Wolfgang ---

Thank you for the fast response. I did not use NuGet for the sample application I'm testing. But I did use it for my main app. Sample app ```auto { "Logging": { "LogLevel": { "Default": "Debug", "System": "Information", "Microsoft": "Information" } }, "ElasticApm": { "ServerUrls": "https://:8220", "SecretToken": "elk==", "VerifyServerCert": false }, "Console": { "IncludeScopes": true // Required to use Scopes. } } ``` My app ```auto ``` ---

Hi Daniel, the `404` error suggests a problem with your setup.

Hi Daniel, can you try a tool like `curl` or `wget` to hit the URL configured at `ElasticApm.ServerUrls`? What's the response you get there? If you have problems with your self-signed certificate, these tools have options like (`--insecure`, or `--no-check-certificate`) that you can try. If this does not work, there is no change for the .NET APM Agent either to report data to this endpoint. ---

An update. I switched over to the setup for the legacy APM server and was successful on that approach. I can go with this for now but eventually it seems we will have to migrate over to the Fleet + Agent approach. ---

It looks like you are using an incorrect URL (at least an incorrect port number) for your APM server URL configuration. APM server typically uses port 8200 (while here 8220 is used). ---
