Hi Team, I am trying to setup JMX exporter for Kafka running on a compute Instance (Virtual Machine).
As suggested, I downloaded the JMX Exporter jar and the Kafka yaml from the following location. wget https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/io/prometheus/jmx/jmx_prometheus_javaagent/0.12.0/jmx_prometheus_javaagent-0.12.0.jar wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/prometheus/jmx_exporter/master/example_configs/kafka-0-8-2.yml I set the environment variables in the "/etc/systemd/system/kafka.service" file as below: Environment="KAFKA_OPTS=$KAFKA_OPTS -javaagent:/home/kafka_user/jmx_kafka_exporter/jmx_prometheus_javaagent-0.12.0.jar=7070:/home/kafka_user/jmx_kafka_exporter/kafka-0-8-2.yml" After performing a reload and restart; Kafka fails to start. Would highly appreciate any suggestions to run JMX exporter for Kafka running on a compute instance. Thank you in Advance, sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl restart kafka sudo systemctl status kafka ● kafka.service - Kafka Daemon Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/kafka.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: failed (Result: start-limit) since Thu 2020-03-26 06:05:52 UTC; 935ms ago Process: 9842 ExecStart=/opt/kafka/bin/kafka-server-start.sh /opt/kafka/config/server.properties (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 9842 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Mar 26 06:05:51 kafka1.com systemd[1]: Unit kafka.service entered failed state.
