How to access JMX metrics using kafka.tools.JmxTool?

I am unable to get JMX metrics using bin/kafka-run-class.sh kafka.tools.JmxTool script. However, I am able to connect to process using Jconsole.

I have set following properties:

com.sun.management.jmxremote = true
com.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate = false
com.sun.management.jmxremote.local.only = false
com.sun.management.jmxremote.port = 9145
com.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl = false

Exception:

Solution

Trying to connect to JMX url: service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://kafkatest-01:9154/jmxrmi.

but your port is 9145

com.sun.management.jmxremote.port = 9145

Want to know what properties are actually set on your running JVM (useful for checking stuff like this)

prompt> jcmd $pid VM.system_properties
