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. It is possible to configure the system so that users do not have 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 configured by setting the HTTP_PROXY_ALLOW_ACTIONS_NOT_USE configuration variable to true, or setting the system permission SetActionToNotUseProxy. SetActionToNotUseProxy can be set when creating a new Cluster Management role, by selecting the Set actions to not use HTTP proxy checkbox.

  • 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.
