 <1> Define listeners under a source with name `"Elastic.Apm"` to capture agent logs
 
-In rare situations, a critical exception may occur before the `IApmLogger` is available. To avoid crashing the application, such exceptions 
-will be caught and the module code will emit a Trace message to any available listeners in such situations. If you are missing 
-application traces after registering the `ElasticApmModule`, you can temporarily enable a listener to catch all other trace events.
