 The JMX receiver works in conjunction with the :new-page:`OpenTelemetry JMX Metric Gatherer <https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java-contrib/blob/main/jmx-metrics/README.md>` to report metrics from an MBean server. The supported pipeline type is ``metrics``. See :ref:`otel-data-processing` for more information.
 
+You can use the JMX receiver to monitor services such as Cassandra using the ``target_system`` setting. See more at :ref:`jmx-receiver-advanced` and :ref:`jmx-receiver-settings`.

 .. note:: Out-of-the-box dashboards and navigators aren't supported for the JMX receiver yet, but are planned for a future release.
