Hi Team,

Our developers are using Jolokia to perform various actions. One of which is an _exec_ operation that returns some application telemetry we want to ingest into elasticsearch via metricbeat Jolokia module. The URL path when doing this call via the browser is

> host:port/jolokia/exec/bean:name=buildinfo/getAppInfo

From what I can gather after looking at the code on GitHub, it looks like the operation type is hardcoded to _read_, here - [https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/3b994389d6ce8968141a18e539efc6e5ba462f0d/metricbeat/module/jolokia/jmx/config.go#L448](https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/3b994389d6ce8968141a18e539efc6e5ba462f0d/metricbeat/module/jolokia/jmx/config.go#L448)

Is it possible to make this configurable such that we could retrieve the response data or is my best path forward to use the HTTP module?

hi @jason_0,

I suggest adding an enhancement issue in the beats repo ([https://github.com/elastic/beats](https://github.com/elastic/beats)) regarding having a configurable operation type. Meanwhile, you could try the `http` module as a workaround.
