EDOT Java Migration
Read the migration guide before making changes:
Guidelines
1. Remove ALL classic APM references: elastic-apm-agent.jar, elasticapm.properties, all ELASTIC_APM_* env vars, and any co.elastic.apm Maven/Gradle dependencies 1. Use elastic-otel-javaagent.jar (download from Maven Central, not a Maven/Gradle compile dependency) 1. Attach via -javaagent:/path/to/elastic-otel-javaagent.jar or JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS="-javaagent:/path/to/elastic-otel-javaagent.jar" — without this the agent does nothing 1. Set exactly three required environment variables:
OTEL_SERVICE_NAME(replacesELASTIC_APM_SERVICE_NAME)OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT— must be the managed OTLP endpoint or EDOT Collector URL. Do NOT reuse the
old ELASTIC_APM_SERVER_URL value. Never use an APM Server URL (no apm-server, no :8200, no /intake/v2/events)
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS—"Authorization=ApiKey <key>"or"Authorization=Bearer <token>"(replaces
ELASTIC_APM_SECRET_TOKEN / API_KEY) 1. Do NOT set OTEL_TRACES_EXPORTER, OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER, or OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER — the defaults are already correct 1. Never run both classic Elastic APM agent and EDOT agent on the same JVM
Examples
