How to enable JMX port for Kafka

You need to enable JMX port to install the Kafka monitoring plugin successfully.

To enable it, find the following code block in the kafka-server-start.sh script:

fi

export KAFKA_JMX_OPTS="-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9999"
