**Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior. Please include screenshots (if relevant)**: I want to trace PHP and mysql calls - but service map only shows PHP and says it will show other connect services or external requests if we can detect them.

**Steps to reproduce** :

2.Configure PHP agent to talk to apm-server
2. Load up /app/apm/services
3. Select service
