Platform HTTP Jolokia

Since Camel 4.5

The Platform HTTP Jolokia component is used for Camel standalone to expose Jolokia over HTTP using the embedded HTTP server.

Jolokia can be enabled as follows in application.properties:

camel.server.enabled = true
camel.server.jolokiaEnabled = true

After the application is started, you can query the Jolokia endpoint (default /q/jolokia) as in this example:

$ curl http://localhost:8080/q/jolokia/list/org.apache.camel | jq

{
  "request": {
    "path": "org.apache.camel",
    "type": "list"
  },
  "value": {
    "context=test,name=\"timer://yaml\\?period=1000\",type=endpoints": {
      "op": {
        "getEndpointUri": {
          "args": [],
          "ret": "java.lang.String",
          "desc": "EndpointUri"
        },
...

How to use it

This components acts as a Jolokia agent exposing HTTP endpoints to access JMX services. It looks for default restrictor policies located in classpath:/jolokia-access.xml, allowing by default access to all MBeans if no policy is found.

this may be exposing sensitive information, make sure to protect the access to the endpoints accurately.

Make sure to include a security policy as provided in Jolokia documentation to avoid any security problem.
