Docker JMX exporter for Prometheus
Essentially another dockerised JMX Exporter image, this uses alpine-java and dumb-init to provide a relatively small image (approx 130Mb) and includes a released version of jmx_exporter from the maven central repository
Available on Docker hub
Building docker image
docker build -t sscaling/jmx-prometheus-exporter .
Running
docker run --rm -p "5556:5556" sscaling/jmx-prometheus-exporter
Then you can visit the metrics endpoint: http://127.0.0.1:5556/metrics (assuming docker is running on localhost)
Configuration
By default, the jmx-exporter is configured to monitor it's own metrics (as per the main repo example). However, to provide your own configuration, mount the YAML file as a volume
docker run --rm -p "5556:5556" -v "$PWD/config.yml:/opt/jmx_exporter/config.yml" sscaling/jmx-prometheus-exporter
The configuration options are documented: https://github.com/prometheus/jmx_exporter
Environment variables
Additionally, the following environment variables can be defined
- SERVICE_PORT - what port to run the service (if you don't like 5556)
- JVM_OPTS - any additional options, Xmx etc.
- CONFIG_YML - override the location of config.yaml (default: /opt/jmx_exporter/config.yml which monitors jmx exporter's jvm)
