|
|
If you have not already installed and configured Elastic APM,
|
|
the *Setup Instructions* will get you started.

|
|
|
|
Index patterns tell Kibana which Elasticsearch indices you want to explore.
|
|
An APM index pattern is necessary for certain features in the APM UI, like the query bar.
|
|
To set up the correct index pattern,
|
|
simply click *Load Kibana objects* at the bottom of the Setup Instructions.
|
|
|
|
After you install an Elastic APM agent library in your application,
|
|
the application automatically appears in the APM UI in {kib}.
|
|
No further configuration is required.
