adapting an existing agent to apm-server

[WassimDhib]

Hi,

I'm running my own java agent on multiple applications. I actuallly send data to logstash and want to migrate to apm-server.

I noticed some differences between my data model and what the apm-server intake api (v1) allows .

The main differences are the ability to

• send metrics and counters such as memory/cpu/jvm consumption
• send spans independently from transaction (useful for very long transactions, or distributed tracing)
• correlate server side transaction with end used (rum) transaction

My question is to know if the v2 api will support those features ?

v2 allows for sending spans separated from transactions. It also introduces a trace_id which can be used to link together transactions from different services. There are two meta issues describing changes in v2: #1237 and #1390.

There is an experimental endpoint for sending metrics already in v1.

You can also check out the official Java agent and the RUM agent.
