Two updates are needed in the APM Output documentation:
Update Elasticsearch output for ILM default
Since 7.3, ILM is enabled by default for output.elasticsearch. In Configure the Elasticsearch output, most of the output.elasticsearch.index examples in only refer to the non-ILM default index naming convention: index: "apm-%{[observer.version]}-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}". We should clarify in this documentation how custom index and indices settings affect ILM.
Explain %{[processor][event]} in Logstash output
We should add a more prominent note to Configure the Logstash output that explains %{[processor][event]} and why it is necessary. Related discuss.
