Configure Proxy

If your environment uses a proxy server to access external websites, configure the proxy settings in Applications Manager so that all outbound requests are routed through the proxy. This allows the product to access external sites for tasks such as URL monitoring. Such URL monitoring can be performed by setting the proxy configuration. For eg., to access websites from your browser, you should configure an HTTP Proxy.

Note: Proxy settings cannot be configured directly in APM Plugin, as they are synchronized from OpManager.

Follow the steps given below to configure a proxy server:

1. Open the Applications Manager web client and click on the Settings tab.
2. Navigate Product Settings → Proxy Server Settings .
3. Select Disable, if the proxy setting has to be disabled.
4. To specify the proxy settings, select Enable and specify the following details.
   • Host and port number of the proxy server.
   • Username and password of the user to access the Internet.
   • Enable Bypass proxy server for local addresses to bypass the proxy for local network addresses (for example, 192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0).
   • In the Do not use proxy for addresses beginning with field, specify the host names or IP addresses for which the proxy should be bypassed. Use semicolon ( ; ) to separate multiple entries. The host can be any of the following:
     • Complete host name (for example, www.test.com)
     • Domain name — Domain names must begin with a dot (for example, .test.com)
     • IP address (for example, 12.34.56.78)
     • IP subnet specified as an IP address and netmask separated by / (for example, 12.34.56.78/255.255.255.192). 
       In the netmask, a 0 bit indicates that the corresponding bit is ignored during comparison. (i.e. The addresses are ANDed with the netmask before comparison)
5. Click Save. All request to the Internet will then be routed through the proxy server.
