how to capture transactions with long duration? timeout ?

[sibelius]

Describe the bug

Not sure if this is a bug or a wrong configuration that it is not enabling capture long duration transaction or without timeout

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Use this config '...'
2. Then call '....'
3. Then do '....'
4. See error

setup APM, and try to make a long duration request, more than 3 minutes

Expected behavior

it should capture and show this transaction in APM

Environment (please complete the following information)

• OS: [e.g. Linux]
• Node.js version:
• APM Server version:
• Agent version:

System: OS: macOS 15.1.1 CPU: (8) arm64 Apple M1 Pro Memory: 127.75 MB / 16.00 GB Shell: 5.9 - /bin/zsh Binaries: Node: 22.12.0 - ~/.nvm/versions/node/v22.12.0/bin/node npm: 10.9.0 - ~/.nvm/versions/node/v22.12.0/bin/npm pnpm: 9.15.0 - ~/Library/pnpm/pnpm bun: 1.1.38 - /opt/homebrew/bin/bun Browsers: Chrome: 131.0.6778.109 Safari: 18.1.1

apm server 7 elastic-apm-node: 4.7.3

How are you starting the agent? (please tick one of the boxes)

• [ ] Calling agent.start() directly (e.g. require('elastic-apm-node').start(...))
• [ ] Requiring elastic-apm-node/start from within the source code
• [x] Starting node with -r elastic-apm-node/start

What is the right environment variable for this?

ELASTIC_APM_API_REQUEST_TIME ELASTIC_APM_SERVER_TIMEOUT

this code do not capture

async function fetchWithTimeout() {
  const controller = new AbortController();
  const timeout = setTimeout(() => {
    controller.abort(); // Trigger abort after 3 seconds
  }, 3000);

  try {
    const response = await fetch('http://localhost:5001/api/timeout2', {
      signal: controller.signal,
    });

    clearTimeout(timeout); // Clear timeout if the request completes early

    console.log('Response status:', response.status);
    const data = await response.text();
    console.log('Response data:', data);
  } catch (error) {
    if (error.name === 'AbortError') {
      console.log('Request aborted due to timeout');
    } else {
      console.error('Unexpected error:', error);
    }
  }
}

async function captureAbortMiddleware(ctx: Koa.Context, next: Koa.Next) {
  // Listen for 'close' events to detect aborts
  ctx.req.on('close', () => {
    if (!ctx.res.writableEnded) {
      console.log('Client aborted the request');
      if (apm.currentTransaction) {
        apm.currentTransaction.setOutcome('failure'); // Mark transaction as failure
        apm.currentTransaction.addLabels({
          aborted: true,
        });
        apm.currentTransaction.end(); // End the transaction
      }
    }
  });

  // Proceed with the request
  await next();
}

this middleware solves my problem

[sibelius]

this code is not working well

any other solution for this ?
