How to enable remote JMX on Kafka brokers (for JmxTool)?

Question

I enabled JMX on Kafka brokers by adding

KAFKA_JMX_OPTS=\"-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote=true
                -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=fa         


        

Answer 1

Edit bin/kafka-run-class.sh and set KAFKA_JMX_OPTS variable

KAFKA_JMX_OPTS="-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote=true -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=your.kafka.broker.hostname -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true"

Update bin/kafka-server-start.sh add the below line

export JMX_PORT=PORT
