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

If you're running via systemd:

1. edit /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/kafka.service
2. in the "[service]" section add a line:
   • Environment=JMX_PORT=9989
3. reload: systemctl daemon-reload
4. restart: systemctl restart kafka
5. enjoy the beans: echo 'beans' | java -jar jmxterm-1.0-alpha-4-uber.jar -l localhost:9989 -n 2>&1
