## TL;DR

You need to add APM to your docker file like this: apm-server: image: docker.elastic.co/apm/apm-server:7.13.0 cap_add: ["CHOWN", "DAC_OVERRIDE", "SETGID", "SETUID"] cap_drop: ["ALL"] ports: - 8200:8200 command: > apm-server -e -E apm-server.rum.enabled=true -E setup.kibana.host=kibana:5601 -E setup.template.settings.index.number_of_replicas=0 -E apm-server.kibana.enabled=true -E apm-server.kibana.host=kibana:5601 -E output.elasticsearch.hosts=["elasticsearch:9200"] healthcheck: interval: 10s retries: 12 test: curl --write-out 'HTTP %{http_code}' --fail --silent --output /dev/null a local/non-public address/ (port 8200)

### How to configure APM server to docker-compose file

## Why it happens

I have a docker-compose.yml file that consists of elasticsearch & kibana. I am wanting to add the APM Server service in the docker-compose.yml file. Is there a way to configure the apm server to the .yml file? I was reading up on configuring apm server on docker but this is not what I am looking for since I am doing this with docker-compose. My docker-compose file: version: '3.8' services: elasticsearch: container_name: elasticsearch image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/ela
