## HTTP Proxy Client Configuration

It is possible to configure LogScale to access the Internet through an HTTP proxy server. LogScale will use the proxy for sending messages from actions and communicating with S3.

To set up an HTTP proxy, use the following configuration properties:

ini

    HTTP_PROXY_HOST=proxy.myorganisation.com
    HTTP_PROXY_PORT=3129
    HTTP_PROXY_USERNAME=you
    HTTP_PROXY_PASSWORD=your-secret-password

Username and password are only needed if the proxy uses authentication, otherwise they can be left out.

### Disable Use of Proxy

Whenever necessary, some features can be configured not to use the HTTP proxy. These are:

- Actions. Users can be allowed not to use the HTTP proxy for the actions they create. Although users must use the HTTP proxy by default for security reasons, its usage can be disabled in cases where actions do not work properly with it. This is set through the `HTTP_PROXY_ALLOW_ACTIONS_NOT_USE` configuration variable.

- Amazon Bucket Storage. The HTTP proxy for this feature can be disabled using the `S3_STORAGE_USE_HTTP_PROXY` configuration variable.

- Export to Bucket with Amazon. The HTTP proxy for this feature can be disabled using the `S3_EXPORT_USE_HTTP_PROXY` configuration variable.

- S3 Archiving. The HTTP proxy for this feature can be disabled using the `S3_ARCHIVING_USE_HTTP_PROXY` configuration variable.

- FDR. Whether to use the HTTP proxy for this feature is set using the `FDR_USE_PROXY` configuration variable.

- IOC. Whether to use the HTTP proxy for this feature is set using the `IOC_USE_HTTP_PROXY` configuration variable.

- OIDC. Whether to use the HTTP proxy for this feature is set using the `OIDC_USE_HTTP_PROXY` configuration variable.

- MaxMind. Whether to use the HTTP proxy for the MaxMind database download is set using the `MAXMIND_USE_HTTP_PROXY` configuration variable.
