Even if I deploy Elastic Agent with APM integration enabled, Kibana still prompts that it is using APM Server binary instead of Elastic Agent. The following screenshots are from a Kibana 8.15.1 instance deployed from a Docker Image with a URL similar to http://localhost:5601/app/apm/settings/schema.
But I did register 2 Elastic Agents via the settings of http://localhost:5601/app/fleet/agents, one is Fleet Server and the other has the Elastic APM integration strategy turned on.
This uses ElasticSearch 8.15.1, Kibana 8.15.1, Elastic Agent 8.15.1, and the Docker Image from the Elastic Package Registry 8.15.1.
I’m not sure if I should try to provide reproducible steps, since this seems easy to reproduce. The main reason is that this finding comes from a Chinese article https://www.yuque.com/linghengqian/meve2v/kezd0g2m3lfuz38q , and that Chinese article has 15148 words.
I think it is unreasonable that http://localhost:5601/app/apm/settings/schema indicates that APM Server binary is being used, although this does not affect the further use of Elastic APM.
I came from https://discuss.elastic.co/t/in-any-case-kibana-always-prompts-that-it-is-using-apm-server-binary-instead-of-elastic-agent/366306?u=linghengqian , in order to avoid the original discussion being locked due to no reply for 28 days, I opened the current github issue.
