# Jolokia module
This module collects metrics from [Jolokia agents](https://jolokia.org/reference/html/agents.md) running on a target JMX server or dedicated proxy server. The default metricset is `jmx`.
To collect metrics, Metricbeat communicates with a Jolokia HTTP/REST endpoint that exposes the JMX metrics over HTTP/REST/JSON.

## Compatibility

The Jolokia module is tested with Jolokia 1.5.0. It should work with version 1.2.2 and later.

## Example configuration

The Jolokia module supports the standard configuration options that are described in [Modules](https://www.elastic.co/elastic/docs-builder/docs/3016/reference/beats/metricbeat/configuration-metricbeat). Here is an example configuration:
```yaml
metricbeat.modules:
- module: jolokia
  #metricsets: ["jmx"]
  period: 10s
  hosts: ["localhost"]
  namespace: "metrics"
  #path: "/jolokia/?ignoreErrors=true&canonicalNaming=false"
  #username: "user"
  #password: "secret"
  jmx.mappings:
    #- mbean: 'java.lang:type=Runtime'
    #  attributes:
    #    - attr: Uptime
    #      field: uptime
    #- mbean: 'java.lang:type=Memory'
    #  attributes:
    #    - attr: HeapMemoryUsage
    #      field: memory.heap_usage
    #    - attr: NonHeapMemoryUsage
    #      field: memory.non_heap_usage
    # GC Metrics - this depends on what is available on your JVM
    #- mbean: 'java.lang:type=GarbageCollector,name=ConcurrentMarkSweep'
    #  attributes:
    #    - attr: CollectionTime
    #      field: gc.cms_collection_time
    #    - attr: CollectionCount
    #      field: gc.cms_collection_count

  jmx.application:
  jmx.instance:
```

This module supports TLS connections when using `ssl` config field, as described in [SSL](https://www.elastic.co/elastic/docs-builder/docs/3016/reference/beats/metricbeat/configuration-ssl). It also supports the options described in [Standard HTTP config options](/elastic/docs-builder/docs/3016/reference/beats/metricbeat/configuration-metricbeat#module-http-config-options).

## Metricsets

The following metricsets are available:
- [jmx](https://www.elastic.co/elastic/docs-builder/docs/3016/reference/beats/metricbeat/metricbeat-metricset-jolokia-jmx)
