Elastic APM monitors software services and applications in real time, collects unhandled errors and exceptions, and automatically picks up basic host-level metrics and agent specific metrics.

If you haven’t already, you need to install Elasticsearch for storing and searching your data, Kibana for visualizing and managing it, and APM Server. For more information, see Get started.
