JMXFetch is the new tool to collect metrics from JMX Servers in order to be sent to Datadog (http://www.datadoghq.com)
It is called by the Datadog Agent (https://github.com/Datadog/datadog-agent) and sends metrics back to the Agent using the Java dogstatsd library.
First of all and most importantly, thank you for sharing.

JMXFetch uses Maven for its build system. The repo contains a Maven Wrapper, so you don't need to download and install Maven.
In order to generate the JAR artifact, run the ./mvnw clean compile assembly:single command in the cloned directory.
The distribution will be created under target/.
To use this JAR in the Agent, see these docs.
To test your JAR with a local test-server, see below instructions for "Local Testing"
If you want build all the JAR files for JMXFetch, you need to use an older JDK version like JDK 8.
There is a known issue where the build can't find javadoc command on modern JDKs.
The quickest way to build these JAR files is to use Docker:
docker run -it --rm \
--name my-maven-project \
-v "$(pwd)":/usr/src/app \
-w /usr/src/app \
eclipse-temurin:8-jdk ./mvnw -DskipTests clean package
JMXFetch uses Checkstyle with Google Java Style to enforce coding standards.
To perform a Checkstyle analysis and outputs violations, run:
./mvnw checkstyle::check
Checkstyle analysis is automatically executed prior to compiling the code, testing.
JMXFetch uses Lombok to modify classes and generate additional code at runtime. You may need to enable annotation processors to compile in your IDE.
sdkman is recommended to manage multiple versions of Java.
If you are an sdkman user, there is a config file present in this project with
the recommended JDK version for development, use sdk env to activate it.
The logging output is configured in code in CustomLogger.java.
The following system properties will affect the format of the log records.
-Djmxfetch.filelinelogging=true- All log records will include the specific file and line number which emitted that log.
-Djmxfetch.millisecondlogging=true- All log records will include milliseconds in the timestamp, rather than the default 'second' timestamp resolution.
You can utilize the provided testing server misbehaving-jmx-server with the
preset ./docker-compose.yaml file. This runs two containers, one is the
test server and the other is the Datadog Agent running your local JAR's version
of JMXFetch.
docker compose up -d
To run unit test, issue the following command:
./mvnw test
Some tests utilize TestContainers which requires a docker client. You can rely on the CI to run these, or if you have docker installed on Linux these should work out of the box.
If you're on macOS or Windows, docker desktop is architected to run a linux VM which then runs all your containers. This makes the networking a bit different and you should use the following command to run the tests.
docker run -it --rm -e TESTCONTAINERS_HOST_OVERRIDE=host.docker.internal -v $PWD:$PWD -w $PWD -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock eclipse-temurin:8-jdk ./mvnw test
This version runs the maven jmxfetch tests within a container as well, which works as long as the TEST_CONTAINERS_HOST_OVERRIDE env var is set.
You can test the deployment by using the Nexus3 OSS image. To do so you need to:
- Use the local endpoints in the
pom.xml:
...
<distributionManagement>
<snapshotRepository>
<id>nexus</id>
<url>http://localhost:8081/repository/maven-snapshots/</url>
</snapshotRepository>
<repository>
<id>nexus</id>
<url>http://localhost:8081/repository/maven-releases/</url>
</repository>
</distributionManagement>
...
<build>
<plugins>
...
<plugin>
<groupId>org.sonatype.plugins</groupId>
...
<configuration>
<serverId>nexus</serverId>
<nexusUrl>http://localhost:8081/repository/maven-releases/</nexusUrl>
<autoReleaseAfterClose>false</autoReleaseAfterClose>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
...- Start the Nexus 3 container:
docker run --rm -d \
--name nexus3 \
-p 8081:8081 \
-e INSTALL4J_ADD_VM_PARAMS='-Xms512m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxDirectMemorySize=512m -Djava.util.prefs.userRoot=/nexus-data/javaprefs' \
sonatype/nexus3- Wait for the server to be up on http://localhost:8081
- Get the administrator password:
docker exec -it nexus3 cat /nexus-data/admin.password- Export those values for the build:
export GPG_KEY="<Key ID for signing the artifact>"
export GPG_PASSPHRASE="<Password for the private key of $GPG_KEY>"
export SONATYPE_USER="admin"
export SONATYPE_PASS="<Password for Nexus admin from previous step>"- Run the deploy with the appropriate
skipStagingflag:
./mvnw -DskipTests -DskipStaging=true -DperformRelease=true --settings settings.xml clean deployIf you do this correctly, the artifact will be available in the Nexus container at http://localhost:8081/#browse/browse:maven-releases.
Note: If you are trying to redeploy the same version of the artifact to the local
Nexus repository, you will need to change the Deployment Policy for maven-releases
to Allow redeploy in the UI
otherwise the subsequent publishes will fail.

java -jar jmxfetch-0.49.7-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar --help
To upgrade the Maven Wrapper, you need to run:
./mvn wrapper:wrapper -Dmaven=<Maven Version X.Y.Z>
The easiest way to regenerate the wrapper files (mvnw, mvnw.cmd, .mvn/wrapper/maven-wrapper.jar and .mvn/wrapper/maven-wrapper.properties) is to use Docker:
docker run -it --rm \
--name my-maven-project \
-v "$(pwd)":/usr/src/app \
-w /usr/src/app maven:3 mvn wrapper:wrapper -Dmaven=<Maven Version X.Y.Z>
Leave out the -Dmaven=<Maven Version X.Y.Z> to get the latest version of Maven.
