++++
These settings allow the APM app to function, and specify the data that it surfaces.
Unless you've customized your setup,
you do not need to configure any settings to use the APM app.
It is enabled by default.

Index defaults can be changed in the APM app. Select **Settings** > **Indices**.
Index settings in the APM app take precedence over those set in `kibana.yml`.

Changing these settings may disable features of the APM App.
