JMX exporter
A collector that captures JMX MBean values and exposes them as Prometheus metrics.
What is JMX exporter?
JMX Exporter is a collector that captures metrics from Java applications using JMX MBeans and exposes them in Prometheus format. It solves the problem of monitoring JVM-based applications by converting Java's built-in monitoring data into metrics that can be scraped by Prometheus. The tool enables comprehensive observability of Java services without requiring extensive instrumentation changes.
Java developers and DevOps engineers who need to monitor JVM-based applications using Prometheus. System administrators responsible for maintaining Java services in production environments.
Developers choose JMX Exporter because it provides a simple, standardized way to expose Java application metrics to Prometheus without modifying application code. Its dual deployment options (Java agent or standalone server) offer flexibility for different monitoring scenarios.
