Hi @rijaluc welcome 🙂 yes it’s possible. basically it’s the same as wit docker: you need to set the JMX port and settings as described in > **[Kafka Monitoring and Metrics Using JMX with Docker | Confluent Documentation](https://docs.confluent.io/platform/current/installation/docker/operations/monitoring.html#settings)** > > Connect JMX to Kafka in Confluent. Manage clusters, collect broker/client metrics, and monitor Kafka system health in predefined dashboards with real-time alerting. and then start zookeeper and kafka with the respective shell scripts hth, michael ---

Hi @mmuehlbeyer Below the step we has done : 1. Download the latest version of the Jolokia JVM-Agent from 2. Save jolokia-jvm-agent.jar on the Kafka server in /home/rijaluc/confluent-7.2.1/bin 3. Configure Kafka to use Jolokia: Add the following server.propreties ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/confluentcommunity/original/2X/1/16103f3bfa31f928d92292ef12cb4d00c64fcd75.png) 4. Restart the Kafka service. 5. Verify that you can access Jolokia on port 8778 by running: After vérification on localhost:8778/jolokia/list the page is unreachable. Can you help us please ?😄 Note: I’m using Confluent Kafka ---

hey @rijaluc the settings should not be done in server.properties but should be done in kafka-server-start or in your current bash. RMI\_HOSTNAME should be a host not a port 😉 eg as described here [https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-management/2.2.x?topic=systems-enabling-jolokia-apache-kafka-brokers](https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-management/2.2.x?topic=systems-enabling-jolokia-apache-kafka-brokers) ---
