This section can help with any of the following:
* Data isn't displaying in the APM app
* Data isn't displaying in the APM app after an upgrade
* You see a message like "No Services Found",
* You see errors like "Fielddata is disabled on text fields by default..."
There are a number of factors that could be at play here.
One important thing to double-check first is your index template.
These problems are likely to be caused by a missing index template or ingest pipeline.
By default, {fleet} sets up these and other APM assets when the APM integration is installed.
Try reinstalling the APM integration by navigating to
**Integrations** > **Elastic APM** > **Manage in Fleet** > **Settings** > **Reinstall Elastic APM**.
*Index templates*
For the APM app to work correctly, an index template must exist for each APM data stream.
By default, {fleet} sets up APM index templates when the APM integration is installed.
Take note that index templates *cannot* be applied retroactively -- they are only applied at index creation time.
More information is available in {apm-guide-ref}/apm-server-configuration.html[Set up and configure].
You can check for the existence of APM index templates in Kibana.
Go to **Stack Management** > **Index Management** > **Index Templates** and search for `apm`.
Because assets cannot be applied to indices retroactively,
after reinstalling the APM integration you must either wait for the index to rollover or force a rollover.
To force a rollover, use the {ref}/indices-rollover-index.html[rollover API] to target the relevant {apm-guide-ref}/apm-data-streams.html[APM data streams].
