Configure Sensor Proxy to Use a Third-Party HTTP Proxy
Sensor Proxy supports integration with third-party HTTP proxy servers, allowing all outbound sensor traffic to be routed through a custom-designated proxy. This enhancement enables your organization to comply with internal security policies that require all outbound network communications to pass through a centralized proxy.
With this feature, you can:
- 
                                                        Configure Sensor Proxy to send all outbound traffic through your organization’s approved third-party HTTP proxy. 
- 
                                                        Simplify network and firewall management by centralizing sensor communications. 
- 
                                                        Maintain compliance with enterprise security requirements and regulatory standards. 
Note: Sensor Proxy only supports basic authentication for third-party proxy connections.
To enable Sensor Proxy to use a third-party HTTP proxy:
- 
                                                        Do one of the following: - 
                                                                Create the proxy.env file as a symlink by running the following command: Copyln -s </path/to/your/envfile> /opt/sensor_proxy/config/proxy.env
- 
                                                                Create the /opt/sensor_proxy/config/proxy.env file, directly add your proxy environment variables following your organization's procedures, and save the file. The following lines are examples of custom proxy environment variables in proxy.env: https_proxy="http://username:[email protected]:3128" no_proxy="localhost,127.0.0.1" Note: You must URL-encode any special characters in the username or password for proxy environment variables, as Sensor Proxy reads these values as URLs.

- 
                                                        Restart Sensor Proxy and apply your changes by running the following command: Copysystemctl restart sensorproxy
To disable third-party HTTP proxy support in Sensor Proxy:
- 
                                                        Do one of the following: - 
                                                                Remove the symlink from proxy.env by running the following command: Copyrm /opt/sensor_proxy/config/proxy.env
- 
                                                                Open proxy.env, comment out or remove your proxy environment variables following your organization's procedures, and save the file.

- 
                                                        Restart Sensor Proxy and apply your changes by running the following command: Copysystemctl restart sensorproxy
