Sorry missed that part:

Having the agent running in an EAP instance be able to monitor other jolokia end points is cool. But I don't really understand why this isn't a more standalone java application. I would think it would be much more useful to be able to have a standalone java agent which could run on the same system which is exposing the jolokia endpoint. Say I am only running Tomcat servers and I don't want to run Wildfly just to be able to gather the metrics from Tomcat.

A lot of people in the Java community use JMXTrans or embedded JMXTrans to monitor Tomcat. As mentioned previously, JMXTrans can send data to ptrans over the Graphite protocol.

<mea culpa>
I have all the setup details and article ready since last summer
HWKMETRICS-158 Write an article to explain how to use Metrics + JMXTrans + Grafana to monitor Tomcat application
I did not publish because I wanted to create a video and then my attention was brought to other things. It's a shame. I will fix this soon.
