**Instance file (--target\_instances)**
Specify in each line the connection url to the Java instance.
**Example**
```
service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://172.17.0.1:9090/jmxrmi
service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://172.12.0.23:9090/jmxrmi
service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://172.11.0.1:9090/jmxrmi
```
**Metrics file (--target\_metrics)**
Specify metrics line by line.
For each line in the configuration file an attribute must be added and this will create a module with that statistic in Pandora. If it is necessary to configure thresholds, they must be specified to the right of the attribute, separating each threshold by |. Example:
**Metric without threshold**
java.lang:type=Threading/ThreadCount
[](https://pandorafms.com/guides/public/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/b2mimage.png)
**Metric with threshold**
java.lang:type=Threading/TotalStartedThreadCount|min\_warning 30|min\_critical 45
[](https://pandorafms.com/guides/public/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/p0Jimage.png)
