Jolokia jmx metricset
editJolokia jmx metricset
editThe jmx
metricset collects metrics from
Jolokia agents.
Features and configuration
editTested with Jolokia 1.5.0.
To collect metrics from a Jolokia instance, define a mapping section that
specifies an MBean ObjectName
followed by an array of attributes to fetch. For
each attribute in the array, specify the Elastic field name where the
returned value will be saved.
For example, to get the Uptime
attribute from the java.lang:type=Runtime
MBean and map it to an event field called jolokia.testnamespace.uptime
,
configure the following mapping:
- module: jolokia metricsets: ["jmx"] hosts: ["localhost:8778"] namespace: "testnamespace" jmx.mappings: - mbean: 'java.lang:type=Runtime' attributes: - attr: Uptime field: uptime event: uptime target: url: "service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://targethost:9999/jmxrmi" user: "jolokia" password: "s!cr!t"

The field where the returned value will be saved. This field will be called
|
|
The |
If the underlying attribute is an object (such as the HeapMemoryUsage
attribute in java.lang:type=Memory
), its structure will be published to
Elastic "as is".
You can configure nested metric aliases by using dots in the mapping name (for
example, gc.cms_collection_time
). For more examples, see
/jolokia/jmx/test/config.yml.
All metrics from a single mapping will be POSTed to the defined host/port and sent to Elastic as a single event. To make it possible to differentiate between metrics from multiple similar applications running on the same host, you should configure multiple modules.
When wildcards are used, an event is sent to Elastic for each matching
MBean, and an mbean
field is added to the event.
Limitations
editAll Jolokia requests have canonicalNaming
set to false
. See the
Jolokia Protocol documentation
for more detail about this parameter.
Exposed fields, dashboards, indexes, etc.
editBecause this module is very general and can be tailored for any application that exposes its metrics over Jolokia, it comes with no exposed field descriptions, dashboards, or index patterns.
Fields
editFor a description of each field in the metricset, see the exported fields section.
