Summary

Elastic APM 7.5.0 introduces several enhancements to simplify application performance monitoring, including expanded navigation between APM traces and logs, allowing trace unique identifiers (IDs) to be written into log messages for all Elastic APM agents using the Elastic Common Schema. This update, part of Elastic Stack's default distribution and available on Elasticsearch Service, also marks the general availability of aggregate service breakdown charts, offering a comprehensive view of application performance hotspots. New configuration options enable users to adjust transaction capture body and the maximum number of spans from the UI without altering agent configuration files, accompanied by visual feedback indicators. Additionally, JVM instance-level visibility is improved with a tabular view displaying metric data, enabling detailed analysis of CPU, memory usage, thread count, and garbage collection for specific JVMs.
