[ceastman-r7]

Component(s)

receiver/jmx

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The problem is that the endpoint has to be hardcoded: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/tree/main/receiver/jmxreceiver#endpoint

datadog's jmx can autodiscovery: https://docs.datadoghq.com/containers/guide/autodiscovery-with-jmx/?tab=operator

Describe the solution you'd like

Some mechanism for autodiscovery of jmx endpoints for kubernetes.

Hey, this seems like a dupe of 31599, could I mark it as such?

TL;dr is that there are extensions/observers that can, in conjunction with receivercreator, dynamically add jmx, but there are some caveats

@ datadog, it seems they have you specify a port for autodiscovery

Set as desired, as long as it matches between the annotations and JAVA_OPTS

in the context of the docker observer/receiver_creator, you would specify port == JMXPORT in the rules, similar to the redis example

      redis/1:
        # If this rule matches an instance of this receiver will be started.
        rule: type == "port" && port == 6379
        config:
          # Static receiver-specific config.
          password: secret
          # Dynamic configuration value.
          collection_interval: '`pod.annotations["collection_interval"]`'
