Metricbeat can get JMX metrics with the help of [Jolokia](https://jolokia.org/). See the [jolokia jmx](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-metricset-jolokia-jmx.html) metricset.

Basically you need to setup the Jolokia agent and then Metricbeat will connect to it to collect the JMX metrics.
