Proxy Settings

[nathan-bonner]

Good day,

Please enable the web proxy functionality from the Splunk Add-on Builder. This will solve issues where Splunk Heavy Forwarders that are doing log collection do not have direct access to the internet. It appears that the Splunk Add-on builder was used to create the Citrix add-on. There is a simple drop in to enable the web calls to respect web proxy settings.

Thanks!

Thank you for your suggestion. I have created internal story for that and will update here once we have a progress.

[nathan-bonner]

Thank you. This would be a much welcomed improvement to the add-on.

hi @Paregov wondering if proxy settings are configurable now? Screenshots in configuration guide suggests that it is not available yet?

[Paregov]

Hi @dvg06. I am no longer at Citrix (the end of 2021). At the time it was not and I don't know who is working on the add-on now.

[nathan-bonner]

@Paregov Thank you for the status update. Hopefully someone will pick up the work on this add-on.

I added below in splunk, and worked for me
no_proxy=trust.citrixworkspacesapi.net,127.0.0.1,api-us.cloud.com

I have added the following lines to citrix-system-log-add-on/local/citrix_system_log_add_on_settings.conf

[proxy]
proxy_enabled = 1
proxy_port = *proxy_port*
proxy_url = *proxy_address*

and in citrix-system-log-add-on/bin/input_module_citrix_system_log_records.py update any occurances of:
use_proxy=False
to
use_proxy=True

Just waiting on the proxy settings to find out if this will actually work...

I know this is an old conversation but I did submit a PR that adds proxy support here #7

New app that replaces this one does have proxy support: https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/6204
