Summary
In Elastic Stack version 7.16, the APM Guide was introduced. This guide is a combination of two previous documentation books, the APM Server Reference and the APM Overview. Forevermore, the 7.15 versions of the APM Server Reference and APM Overview will be marked as
current
1 . This poses a problem: the Server Reference and Overview have strong SEO rankings, leading many google searches to these out-of-date docs, instead of to the realcurrent
APM Guide documentation.This PR adds a canonical URL to pages in the 7.15 APM Server Reference and APM Overview that have similar or duplicate content in the current APM Guide. The hope is that these canonical references point searches to the new documentation, instead of the old docs.
