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

You must set 'JMX_PORT' variable, or add the following line to bin/kafka-server-start.sh.

export JMX_PORT=${JMX_PORT:-9999}

then you will be able to connect to Kafka JMX metrics. I use jconsole tool and 'localhost:9999' address.
