Hello guys,

I want to setup JMX exporter in my linux system and I am following https://github.com/prometheus/jmx_exporter.

I have download the jmx_prometheus_javaagent-0.12.0.jar also version 0.11.0 and also created config.yml file in my linux system.
Java 1.8 is installed in my linux system.
I was trying to setup jmx_exporter as agent using below command.

java -javaagent:./jmx_prometheus_javaagent-0.12.0.jar=8080:config.yml -jar jmx_prometheus_javaagent-0.12.0.jar



But it gives the error.

no main manifest attribute, in jmx_prometheus_javaagent-0.12.0.jar

what is the problem for this and how can I fix this ?

Thanks.

java -javaagent:./jmx_prometheus_javaagent-0.12.0.jar=8080:config.yaml -jar yourJar.jar

Looks like your last argument need to point to the JAVA application you are trying to Monitor.

Thanks.

Hi Jayesh Patel,

Did you manage to get the exporter to work?

I would like to get the metrics from my tomcat server ? Is it possible ?

Regards.
