Removing the entry in the previous file /etc/metricbeat/modules.d/jolokia.yml and replacing with my config seems to have made it start shipping my jolokia data. However, now it is giving a 404 error.
/etc/metricbeat/modules.d/jolokia.yml

However, now on the kibana server I'm seeing the following:

}
This is why I don't understand what a namespace is, is it arbitrary for elastic's usage only or is metricbeat trying to hit some kind of endpoint? It's not clear in the documentation and some of the documentation has #metricsets ['jmx'] ( a comment, which means it doesn't matter?)
