Hello,
I am using Jolokia to get metrics from a Tomcat installed on a Sun Solaris Server.
I would like to know if I can easily build dashboards with Kibana 4 or if it is better to use an other solution such as Grafana.

Hi @medley,
in order to visualize the metrics in Kibana, they have to be stored in Elasticsearch first. There is quite a variety of ways to achieve that given your description:
- using httpbeat
- using logstash's http_poller input
- using logstash's jmx input
- using jmxproxybeat
Once your metrics have been stored in Elasticsearch it should be easy to create a diverse set of visualizations.
If you don't already have an older version of the Elastic Stack installed, which your cannot update, I would strongly recommend starting with the newest version 5.2.1 of Kibana.
I just saw that metricbeat will gain a native Jolokia module in one of the upcoming releases.
