APM agent log sending
editAPM agent log sending
editThe Java APM agent can automatically capture and send logs directly to the managed intake service — enabling you to easily ingest log events without needing a separate log shipper like Filebeat.
Requirements
The Elastic APM agent for Java.
Pros
- Simple to set up as it only relies on the APM agent.
- No modification of the application required.
- No need to deploy Filebeat.
- No need to store log files in the file system.
Cons
- Experimental feature.
- Limited APM agent support.
- Not resilient to outages. Log messages can be dropped when buffered in the agent or in the managed intake service.
Get started
