Description
What documentation page is affected
On https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/server/index.html, APM Server is described as 'legacy'. This documentation seems to have been deprecated from 8.x.
On https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/observability/current/apm-getting-started-apm-server.html, the 'standalone' APM server binary, and fleet-managed APM server (running within an Elastic Agent) are positioned as equals.
However, after setting up a 'standalone' APM server, Kibana says:
You are currently using APM Server binary. This legacy option is deprecated since version 7.16 and is being replaced by a managed APM Server in Elastic Agent from version 8.0.
I assume "managed APM Server in Elastic Agent" refers to a "fleet-managed APM server".
What change would you like to see?
The situation described above is incredibly confusing: the two options are positioned as equals, but after setting up the standalone option, Kibana marks it as deprecated, which is mentioned in now deprecated documentation, but it's impossible to tell whether 'standalone' APM server binary is something different than 'legacy' APM server...
The status of APM server install options should be clarified.
