GET /apm-*/_search
{
  "query": {
    "match": { "processor.event": "transaction" }

BThe field 'processor.event' is misspelled.

CThe query syntax is invalid.

DThe APM Server is down.

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check index pattern matching
If 'apm-*' does not match any indices, no data will be returned.
Step 2: Validate other options
Field spelling and query syntax are correct; server status affects data ingestion but not query results if indices exist.
Final Answer:
The index pattern 'apm-*' does not match any existing indices. -> Option A
