Nitan, I'm not really familiar with jmxterm but the error it's returning to you is because that MBean doesn't exist. The full MBean matching your example is org.apache.cassandra.metrics:type=ClientRequest,scope=CASWrite,name=MutationSizeHistogram. You can then call the operation values on it to get the current snapshot of metrics.
run -b org.apache.cassandra.metrics:type=ClientRequest,scope=CASWrite,name=MutationSizeHistogram values Alternatively you can use 'get' to get an attribute instead of perform an operation: get -b org.apache.cassandra.metrics:type=ClientRequest,scope=CASWrite,name=MutationSizeHistogram Count And instead of Count you can use 50thPercentile/75thPercentile etc as mentioned in http://cassandra.apache.org/doc/latest/operating/metrics.html (It's a Timer). As Kurt mentioned, there are existing solutions to the JMX calls for you (Graphana, Datadog....). Hope that helps.
