    image: scalify/jolokia_exporter_test_server
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"
  exporter:
    build:
      context: .
    image: scalify/jolokia_exporter
    volumes:
      - "./fixtures:/fixtures"
    command: [
      "export", "/fixtures/config.yaml", "http://fixtures:3000/manage/jolokia",
      "--basic-auth-user", "admin",
      "--basic-auth-password", "secret",
      "--insecure"
    ]

The exporter loads a configuration file, containing information about how to resolve mbean data:

metrics:
- source:
    mbean: java.lang:type=Memory
    attribute: HeapMemoryUsage
    path: used
  target: java_memory_heap_memory_usage_used
- source:
    mbean: java.lang:type=Memory
    attribute: HeapMemoryUsage
    path: max
  target: java_memory_max
- source:
    mbean: java.lang:type=Threading
    attribute: ThreadCount
  target: java_threading_thread_count
- source:
    mbean: java.lang:type=OperatingSystem
  target: java_os

More information on how to specify mbeans can be found in the Jolokia docs. For a complete example have a look into the fixtures directory and the docker-compose.yml
