Restart Cursor to activate observability-edot-java-migrate. Access via /observability-edot-java-migrate in your agent's command palette.
Security Notice
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.

Guidelines
- Remove ALL classic APM references:
elastic-apm-agent.jar,elasticapm.properties, allELASTIC_APM_*env vars, and anyco.elastic.apmMaven/Gradle dependencies - Use
elastic-otel-javaagent.jar(download from Maven Central, not a Maven/Gradle compile dependency) - Attach via
-javaagent:/path/to/elastic-otel-javaagent.jarorJAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS="-javaagent:/path/to/elastic-otel-javaagent.jar"— without this the agent does nothing - 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 oldELASTIC_APM_SERVER_URLvalue. Never use an APM Server URL (noapm-server, no:8200, no/intake/v2/events)OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS—"Authorization=ApiKey <key>"or"Authorization=Bearer <token>"(replacesELASTIC_APM_SECRET_TOKEN/API_KEY)
- Do NOT set
OTEL_TRACES_EXPORTER,OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER, orOTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER— the defaults are already correct - Never run both classic Elastic APM agent and EDOT agent on the same JVM
