<p>Communication between APM agents and APM Server now supports sending an

APM Server provides an <code class="literal">apikey</code> command that can create, verify, invalidate,

Most operations require the <code class="literal">manage_api_key</code> cluster privilege,
and you must ensure that <code class="literal">apm-server.api_key</code> or <code class="literal">output.elasticsearch</code> are configured appropriately.</p>

The index template ensures that fields are mapped correctly in Elasticsearch.
If index lifecycle management is enabled it also ensures that the defined ILM policy
and write alias are connected to the indices matching the index template.
The ILM policy takes care of the lifecycle of an index, when to do a rollover,
when to move an index from the hot phase to the next phase, etc.
