It automatically instruments web frameworks like Django and Flask to capture request metrics, errors, and distributed traces, sending them to a central Elastic APM Server for visualization and analysis. The agent works out-of-the-box with popular frameworks and can be adapted to any WSGI-compatible application through custom integrations.\n\nThe package is designed for developers and system administrators who need visibility into application performance and error rates. It depends on urllib3, certifi, wrapt, and ecs_logging to handle HTTP communication, certificate validation, function wrapping for instrumentation, and structured logging. The agent supports Python 3.6 through 3.13 and both CPython and PyPy implementations.","worth_installing":"Yes. Elastic APM is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and is the official agent for a widely-used monitoring platform. Install it if you run applications on Elastic APM Server or plan to adopt centralized performance monitoring; skip it if you have no APM infrastructure or use a different monitoring vendor."},"id":"elastic-apm","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/elastic-apm","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/elastic-apm.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/elastic-apm/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-22","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"elastic-apm","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"The official Python module for Elastic APM"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1753102,"position":3590,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"6.26.2"}
