You can use the JMX metrics provided by link:https://zookeeper.apache.org/doc/r3.1.2/zookeeperJMX.html[Zookeeper] and link:http://docs.confluent.io/3.0.0/kafka/monitoring.html[Kafka] to monitor {prodname}.
To use these metrics, you must enable them when you start the Zookeeper, Kafka, and Kafka Connect services.
Enabling JMX involves setting the correct environment variables.
ifdef::community[]
The environment variables that you must set depend on whether you are running Zookeeper, Kafka, and Kafka Connect in a local installation or in Docker containers.

[NOTE]
====
If you are running multiple services on the same machine,
be sure to use distinct JMX ports for each service.

=== Zookeeper JMX environment variables

Zookeeper has built-in support for JMX.
When running Zookeeper using a local installation,
the `zkServer.sh` script recognizes the following environment variables:

`JMXPORT`::
Enables JMX and specifies the port number that will be used for JMX.
The value is used to specify the JVM parameter `-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=$JMXPORT`.

`JMXAUTH`::
Whether JMX clients must use password authentication when connecting.
Must be either `true` or `false`.
The default is `false`.
The value is used to specify the JVM parameter `-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=$JMXAUTH`.

`JMXSSL`::
Whether JMX clients connect using SSL/TLS.
Must be either `true` or `false`.
The default is `false`.
The value is used to specify the JVM parameter `-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=$JMXSSL`.

`JMXLOG4J`::
Whether the Log4J JMX MBeans should be disabled.
Must be either `true` (default) or `false`.
The default is `true`.
The value is used to specify the JVM parameter `-Dzookeeper.jmx.log4j.disable=$JMXLOG4J`.

=== Kafka JMX environment variables

When running Kafka using a local installation,
the `kafka-server-start.sh` script recognizes the following environment variables:

`JMX_PORT`::
Enables JMX and specifies the port number that will be used for JMX.
The value is used to specify the JVM parameter `-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=$JMX_PORT`.

`KAFKA_JMX_OPTS`::
The JMX options, which are passed directly to the JVM during startup.
The default options are:

When running Kafka using a local installation,
the `connect-distributed.sh` script recognizes the following environment variables:

`JMX_PORT`::
Enables JMX and specifies the port number that will be used for JMX.
The value is used to specify the JVM parameter `-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=$JMX_PORT`.

== Monitoring {prodname} on OpenShift

If you are using {prodname} on OpenShift, you can obtain JMX metrics by opening a JMX port on `9999`.
For more information, see link:{LinkStreamsOpenShift}#assembly-jmx-options-deployment-configuration-kafka[JMX Options].

In addition, you can use Prometheus and Grafana to monitor the JMX metrics.

[id="enabling-jmx-docker"]
=== Enabling JMX in Docker

If you are running Zookeeper, Kafka, and Kafka Connect in Docker containers,
enabling JMX requires several additional environment variables that are not typically needed when running on a local machine.
This is because the JVM requires the host name to which it will advertise itself to JMX clients.
Thus, {prodname}'s Docker images for Zookeeper, Kafka, and Kafka Connect use several environment variables to enable and configure JMX.
Most of the environment variables are the same for all of the images,
but there are some minor differences.


[id="zookeeper-jmx-environment-variables-docker"]
=== Zookeeper JMX environment variables in Docker

The `debezium/zookeeper` image recognizes the following JMX-related environment variables:

`JMXPORT` (Required)::
The port number that will be used for JMX.
The value is used to specify the following JVM parameters:
+
** `-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=$JMXPORT`
** `-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.rmi.port=$JMXPORT`

`JMXHOST` (Required)::
The IP address or resolvable host name of the Docker host,
which JMX uses to construct a URL sent to the JMX client.
A value of `localhost` or `127.0.0.1` will not work.
Typically, `0.0.0.0` can be used.
The value is used to specify the JVM parameter `-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=$JMXHOST`.

`JMXAUTH`::
Whether JMX clients must use password authentication when connecting.
Must be either `true` or `false`.
The default is `false`.
The value is used to specify the JVM parameter `-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=$JMXAUTH`.

`JMXSSL`::
Whether JMX clients connect using SSL/TLS.
Must be either `true` or `false`.
The default is `false`.
The value is used to specify the JVM parameter `-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=$JMXSSL`.

`JMXLOG4J`::
Whether the Log4J JMX MBeans should be disabled.
Must be either `true` or `false`.
The default is `true`.
The value is used to specify the JVM parameter `-Dzookeeper.jmx.log4j.disable=$JMXLOG4J`.

.Enabling JMX in a Zookeeper Docker container
====
The following example Docker command starts a container using the `debezium/zookeeper` image with values for the `JMXPORT` and `JMXHOST` environment variables,
and maps the Docker host's port 9010 to the container's JMX port:
