Applications UI settings

You do not need to configure any settings to use the Applications UI. It is enabled by default. If you’d like to adjust the default settings, see APM Settings.

The Applications UI uses data views to query APM indices. To change the default APM indices that the Applications UI queries, open the Applications UI and select Settings → Indices. Index settings in the Applications UI take precedence over those set in kibana.yml.

APM indices are Kibana Spaces-aware; Changes to APM index settings will only apply to the currently enabled space. See Control access to APM data for more information.

APM Labs allows you to easily try out new features that are technical preview.

To enable APM labs, navigate to Applications → Settings → General settings and toggle Enable labs button in APM. Select Save changes and refresh the page.

After enabling APM Labs select Labs in the toolbar to see the technical preview features available to try out.
