The (documented) syntax is
[lowercased-service].sink.[sink-name].[option], So for jobtracker it
would be jobtracker.sink.file...
This will get all metrics from all the contexts (unlike metrics1 where
you're required to configure each context). If you want to restrict
the sink to only jvm metrics do this:
jobtracker.sink.jvmfile.class=${*.sink.file.class}
jobtracker.sink.jvmfile.context=jvm
jobtracker.sink.jvmfile.filename=/path/to/namenode-jvm-metrics.out

reducetask.sink.file.filename=/path/to/reducetask-metrics.out
