JMXScripter

Overview

This script automatically downloads and configures the JMX exporter for your Kafka instance. Please read the entire README before starting.

Getting Started

• Clone this repo git clone https://github.com/oslabs-beta/JMXScripter.git
• Run the application in the root folder node index.js

Important Notes

• By default, the information exported from your Kafka instance from JMX exporter is written to localhost:7075. If you wish to change this, enter a new port number in line 51 of the index.js file before running.
• Only works for Linux/Ubuntu and Mac OS. Will add Windows compatibility in a later version.
• This script will override the following files. Make sure to save any customizations elsewhere before running this script if you wish to save them.
  • kafka-server-start.sh
  • kafka.service
• This script assumes your Java file is in the /usr/lib/jvm directory. If it's not, you will have to find your path and replace it in line 47 of the index.js file. We hope to automate this as well in a later version.
