jmx_exporter as an agent on Windows about jmx_exporter

[brian-brazil]

Can you use relative paths?

[kavyakul]

i have to run jar as a service(using nssm), so relative path would be last thing to try.

[jmlucjav]

I can use absolute paths in windows, watch out the slash/bakslashes...

-javaagent:c:\prometheus\jmx_exporter-parent-0.6\jmx_prometheus_javaagent\target\jmx_prometheus_javaagent-0.6.jar=9011:src/main/resources/prometheus-jmx.yml -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9010 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=127.0.0.1

I am having other issues, but the paths do work.

[kavyakul]

Thanks, I will try out this now.
[UPDATE]
the problem is with config yml's absolute path, I am using relative path now, which is working as expected

Can I get Jvm version (java.lang.Runtime) form JMX-exporter metrics. I have not set any pattern but still I am getting only java_lang_Runtime Start & Uptime.

java_lang_Runtime_StartTime 1.455174377204E12
java_lang_Runtime_Uptime 54458.0

[brian-brazil]

That's not exposed currently and the current jmx exporter doesn't do strings. This would be something to add to simpleclient_hotspot.

[kavyakul]

ok..thanks for the information!

I am getting usage error. How to resolve it

[safvankothawala]

java -javaagent:jmx_prometheus_javaagent-0.12.0.jar=8080:config.yaml -jar EmployeeService-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

Error:
Usage: -javaagent:/path/to/JavaAgent.jar=[host:]:

The Problem was solved after modifying the config.yaml to following:
tartDelaySeconds: 0
ssl: false
lowercaseOutputName: false
lowercaseOutputLabelNames: false
