Connect to the APM Server
editConnect to the APM Server
editThis section covers the following topics:
APM Server service
editThe APM Server is exposed with a Service. For information on accessing it, check How to access Elastic Stack services.
To retrieve the list of all the APM Services, use the following command:
kubectl get service --selector='common.k8s.elastic.co/type=apm-server'
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE apm-server-quickstart-apm-http ClusterIP 10.0.1.252 <none> 8200/TCP 154m
APM Server secret token
editThe operator generates an authorization token that agents must send to authenticate themselves to the APM Server.
This token is stored in a secret named {APM-server-name}-apm-token and can be retrieved with the following command:
kubectl get secret/apm-server-quickstart-apm-token -o go-template='{{index .data "secret-token" | base64decode}}'
For more information, check APM Server Reference.
APM Server API keys
editIf you want to configure API keys to authorize requests to the APM Server, instead of using the APM Server CLI, you have to create API keys using the Elasticsearch create API key API, check the APM Server documentation.
