Hello forum, I am once again reching out 🙂 I have set up a rest proxy deployment on kubernetes which ia working as expected. Now i would like to retrieve some JMX metrics, so that i can feed them in to elasticsearch. However, i have been unable to dechipher how this is achieved. Basically i just want to enable the metrics, but i am unsure if the are actually enabled by default, or if i have to set some parameter in my deployment. And once they are enabled, do i then need to either mount in a jolokia jvm agent, or a prometheus jmx exporter? Best regards Oelsner ---

hi @Oelsner welcome back 😉 just to be sure: you like to get onl yrest proxy metrics or metrics from all your services deployed? how did you deploy your environment? using confluent helm charts or something else? best, michael ---

Hi @mmuehlbeyer I would like to get just the metrics from rest proxy as described here [Monitoring REST Proxy | Confluent Documentation](https://docs.confluent.io/platform/current/kafka-rest/production-deployment/rest-proxy/monitoring.html). At least for now. Later on i would probably like to get metrics from other deployments. I created “read stole from left and right ideas”/inspired by this one [https://gitlab.com/atkozhuharov/kafka-rest-proxy-kubernetes/raw/master/kafka-proxy-deployment.yaml](https://gitlab.com/atkozhuharov/kafka-rest-proxy-kubernetes/raw/master/kafka-proxy-deployment.yaml) The rest proxt is working just fine after a few minor changes to suit my needs. But i cant for the life of me figure out how to fetch those metrics. One suggestion i came across was this one [https://gitlab.com/atkozhuharov/kafka-rest-proxy-kubernetes/raw/master/kafka-proxy-deployment.yaml](https://gitlab.com/atkozhuharov/kafka-rest-proxy-kubernetes/raw/master/kafka-proxy-deployment.yaml) I therefore tried to add ```auto env: - name: JMX_PORT value: "9011" ``` to the deployment in hopes that it would expose the metrics on that port as i had been informed that the afore mentioned metrics are exposed by default. Any help on this is greatly appreaciated 🙂 Best regards Oelsner ---

hi @Oelsner ok I see. did you consider using the confluent rest proxy helm chart? > **[cp-helm-charts/charts/cp-kafka-rest at master · confluentinc/cp-helm-charts](https://github.com/confluentinc/cp-helm-charts/tree/master/charts/cp-kafka-rest)** > > master/charts/cp-kafka-rest whole jmx stuff is already in place there maybe you could use it as a template and adapt your conf 😉 best, michael ---

Hi @mmuehlbeyer I actually did not even consider it, but i just checked the link you gave me. It appears that it has a dependency to a running and accissible zookeeper ensemble, which i cant honor. This rest proxy i ment to work with confluent cloud, where is dont have any url’s to any zokeepers. I will try and see if i can find inspiration from the chart though and see if there are some things i can incorporate. Cheers for now 🙂 Oelsner ---

hi @Oelsner ah i see. according to your provides examples it maybe sufficient to add the prometheus exporter part and the port. will test by myself and keep you posted 🙂 best, michael ---

hi @Oelsner short update. was able to connect my local test stack (docker-based) to my confluent cloud trial. converted the compose file with kompose to some kubernetes usable files. need to sanitize them 😉 could provide them afterwards, guess it might help best, michael ---

Hi @mmuehlbeyer That sounds awesome! I would be very interested in seing them once sanitized 🙂 And thanks so much for taking your time to help with this. Regards Oelsner ---

Hi @mmuehlbeyer Thanks so much for that. It looks interesting, and very different as to how i have created my own deployment 🙂 , i cant wait to try it out. I will report back here tomorrow in the evening with my findings… Now it is time to sleep 🙂 Once again for your time, i will keep you posted! Best regards Oelsner ---

Hi @mmuehlbeyer Sorry about the latency. I was delegated to other tasks 😕 Your provided solution deploys just fine, but i have been unable to connect to jmx. I will dig more into this d.uring the week. This week is easter holiday/playtime, so i can commit some time to it 🙂 I will let you know in a day or two how it goes! Again, thanks so much for taking the time to help with this. /Oelsner ---

@mmuehlbeyer I once again have to appologize for the latency. Tasks piled up, and product owner asked me to shift my attention to an immidiate delivery. However, your solution totally applies, but i still have to verify metrics availbility and such. Mind if i keep you posted? I have a deleviry deadline on wednessday for a service, which will keep me tied up until then. After that, i will revive this convo 🙂 Again, your help is always much appreaciated!

Hi @mmuehlbeyer, I’ve raised the similar in [How to enable the metrics in rest proxy](https://forum.confluent.io/t/how-to-enable-the-metrics-in-rest-proxy/11591) and then I came across this thread. I’ve followed your suggestion in [github](https://github.com/mmuehlbeyer/kafka-ops/blob/d6195b5aaf1f66254b87a99891c1aa809744d1fe/code_snippets/cp-rest-proxy-kompose/rest-proxy-deployment.yaml), but I still can’t access the jmx/metric endpoint at port 1095 I use confluentinc/cp-kafka-rest:7.7.1 and it is also deployed to k8s cluster. Would you please help me get this fix? I’ve googled a lot but I couldn’t find any helpful suggestions. Thanks ```auto - name: KAFKA_REST_JMX_OPTS value: -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=localhost -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=1095 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.rmi.port=1095 - name: KAFKA_REST_JMX_PORT value: "1095" ``` ---

mmh did you use Confluent for Kubernetes to deploy the cluster? then jmx should be enabled by default would you mind sharing your conf? ---

@pkinuk why not working directly with a prometheus exporter? You can see an example in action at this link [jmx-monitoring-stacks/jmxexporter-prometheus-grafana/cfk at main · confluentinc/jmx-monitoring-stacks · GitHub](https://github.com/confluentinc/jmx-monitoring-stacks/tree/main/jmxexporter-prometheus-grafana/cfk) and this file [jmx-monitoring-stacks/jmxexporter-prometheus-grafana/cfk/demo/confluent-platform-singlenode.yaml at c521da7d167a048bd6a24fde4097a7ce864d8943 · confluentinc/jmx-monitoring-stacks · GitHub](https://github.com/confluentinc/jmx-monitoring-stacks/blob/c521da7d167a048bd6a24fde4097a7ce864d8943/jmxexporter-prometheus-grafana/cfk/demo/confluent-platform-singlenode.yaml) You only need to add metrics for rest proxy pod
