Authentication

The API accepts 2 different authentication methods:

Api key auth (http_api_key)

These APIs use key-based authentication. You must create an API key and use the encoded value in the request header. For example: Authorization: ApiKey base64AccessApiKey

Basic auth (http)

Basic auth tokens are constructed with the Basic keyword, followed by a space, followed by a base64-encoded string of your username:password (separated by a : colon).

Example: send a Authorization: Basic aGVsbG86aGVsbG8= HTTP header with your requests to authenticate with the API.

APM sourcemaps

Configure APM source maps. A source map allows minified files to be mapped back to original source code--allowing you to maintain the speed advantage of minified code, without losing the ability to quickly and easily debug your application. For best results, uploading source maps should become a part of your deployment procedure, and not something you only do when you see unhelpful errors. That's because uploading source maps after errors happen won't make old errors magically readable--errors must occur again for source mapping to occur.

Get source maps

GET /api/apm/sourcemaps

Get an array of Fleet artifacts, including source map uploads. You must have read or all Kibana privileges for the APM and User Experience feature.
