JMX to Prometheus exporter: a collector that can configurably scrape and expose mBeans of a JMX target.
This exporter is intended to be run as a Java Agent, exposing a HTTP server and serving metrics of the local JVM. It can be also run as an independent HTTP server and scrape remote JMX targets, but this has various disadvantages, such as being harder to configure and being unable to expose process metrics (e.g., memory and CPU usage). Running the exporter as a Java Agent is thus strongly encouraged.
A list of rules to apply in order, processing stops at the first matching rule. Attributes that aren't matched aren't collected. If not specified, defaults to collecting everything in the default format.
pattern
Regex pattern to match against each bean attribute. The pattern is not anchored. Capture groups can be used in other options. Defaults to matching everything.
attrNameSnakeCase
Converts the attribute name to snake case. This is seen in the names matched by the pattern and the default format. For example, anAttrName to an_attr_name. Defaults to false.
name
The metric name to set. Capture groups from the pattern can be used. If not specified, the default format will be used. If it evaluates to empty, processing of this attribute stops with no output.
value
Value for the metric. Static values and capture groups from the pattern can be used. If not specified the scraped mBean value will be used.
valueFactor
Optional number that value (or the scraped mBean value if value is not specified) is multiplied by, mainly used to convert mBean values from milliseconds to seconds.
labels
A map of label name to label value pairs. Capture groups from pattern can be used in each. name must be set to use this. Empty names and values are ignored. If not specified and the default format is not being used, no labels are set.
help
Help text for the metric. Capture groups from pattern can be used. name must be set to use this. Defaults to the mBean attribute description and the full name of the attribute.
type
metric的类型, 可以是 GAUGE, COUNTER or UNTYPED。使用此参数必须设置name 。默认是UNTYPED.
Metric names and label names are sanitized. All characters other than [a-zA-Z0-9:_] are replaced with underscores, and adjacent underscores are collapsed. There's no limitations on label values or the help text.
A minimal config is {}, which will connect to the local JVM and collect everything in the default format. Note that the scraper always processes all mBeans, even if they're not exported.
Example configurations for javaagents can be found at https://github.com/prometheus/jmx_exporter/tree/master/example_configs
Pattern input
The format of the input matches against the pattern is
Part
Description
domain
Bean name. This is the part before the colon in the JMX object name.
beanProperyName/Value
Bean properties. These are the key/values after the colon in the JMX object name.
keyN
If composite or tabular data is encountered, the name of the attribute is added to this list.
attrName
The name of the attribute. For tabular data, this will be the name of the column. If attrNameSnakeCase is set, this will be converted to snake case.
value
The value of the attribute.
No escaping or other changes are made to these values, with the exception of if attrNameSnakeCase is set. The default help includes this string, except for the value.
Default format
The default format will transform beans in a way that should produce sane metrics in most cases. It is
If a given part isn't set, it'll be excluded.
Testing
mvn test to test.
Debugging
You can start the jmx's scraper in standalone mode in order to debug what is called
To get finer logs (including the duration of each jmx call), create a file called logging.properties with this content:
A Debian binary package is created as part of the build process and it can be used to install an executable into /usr/bin/jmx_exporter with configuration in /etc/jmx_exporter/jmx_exporter.yaml.
