= Configuring a JMXTrans deployment

.Prerequisites
* A running Kubernetes cluster

You can configure a JmxTrans deployment by using the `Kafka.spec.jmxTrans` property.
A JmxTrans deployment can read from a secure or insecure Kafka broker.
To configure a JmxTrans deployment, define the following properties:

* `Kafka.spec.jmxTrans.outputDefinitions`
* `Kafka.spec.jmxTrans.kafkaQueries`

For more information on these properties see, xref:type-JmxTransSpec-reference[JmxTransSpec schema reference].

NOTE: JmxTrans will not come up enable you specify that JmxOptions on the Kafka broker.
For more information see, xref:assembly-jmx-options-{context}[Kafka Jmx Options]
.Configuring JmxTrans output definitions

Output definitions specify where JMX metrics are pushed to, and in which data format.
For information about supported data formats, see link:https://github.com/jmxtrans/jmxtrans/wiki/OutputWriters[Data formats^].
How many seconds JmxTrans agent waits for before pushing new data can be configured through the `flushDelay` property.
The `host` and `port` properties define the target host address and target port the data is pushed to.
The `name` property is a required property that is referenced by the `Kafka.spec.kafka.jmxOptions.jmxTrans.queries` property.

Here is an example configuration pushing JMX data in the Graphite format every 5 seconds to a Logstash database on \http://myLogstash:9999, and another pushing to `standardOut` (standard output):

.Configuring JmxTrans queries
JmxTrans queries specify what JMX metrics are read from the Kafka brokers.
Currently JmxTrans queries can only be sent to the Kafka Brokers.
Configure the `targetMBean` property to specify which target MBean on the Kafka broker is addressed.
Configuring the `attributes` property specifies which MBean attribute is read as JMX metrics from the target MBean.
JmxTrans supports wildcards to read from target MBeans, and filter by specifying the `typenames`.
The `outputs` property defines where the metrics are pushed to by specifying the name of the output definitions.

The following JmxTrans deployment reads from all MBeans that match the pattern `kafka.server:type=BrokerTopicMetrics,name=*` and have `name` in the target MBean's name.
From those Mbeans, it obtains JMX metrics about the `Count` attribute and pushes the metrics to standard output as defined by `outputs`.
