How to configure Mongodb MMS to go via a Proxy?

How to I change the monitoring-agent.config to go out via proxy with authentication?

The change log states...

Monitoring Agent 2.3.1.89-1 Released 2014-07-08 Added support for HTTP proxy configuration in the agent configuration file.

But I can't see how to do this.

Following wdberkeley's link I can add this value to the monitoring-agent.config file.

httpProxy=http://"pxproxy01":3128

But this gives..

Failure getting conf. Op: Get Err: Proxy Authentication Required

Is there anyway to set the authentication user/password ?

Solution

Edit file:

C:\MMSData\Monitoring\monitoring-agent.config

Add line...

httpProxy=http://<insert_server_address>:<insert_port>

e.g.

httpProxy=http://PROXY01.server.com:3128

Then get the proxy control team, who ever they be, to exclude the following from requiring authentication.

https://mms.mongodb.com 80

https://mms.mongodb.com 443

This has worked for me. I now have the MMS Agent on Windows sending stat's to the MMS service.

Thanks to @wdberkeley for starting me off on this route. wdberkeley, the page you linked to does not exist & the classic page PDF & HTTP versions state 'HTTP_PROXY' not 'httpproxy' (on OSx section & tar.gz section), section '6.6 Monitoring Agent Configuration' does state the correct property name 'httpproxy'.
