AxonOps agent behind a proxy

If your network does not have direct internet access and it requires a proxy to connect to the AxonOps Server, you will need to configure the AxonOps agent to use it.

To configure the AxonOps agent to use a proxy, you can use a systemd override. This is the recommended approach as it keeps your configuration separate from the agent's default service file.

1. Create an override file for the axon-agent service:

   sudo systemctl edit axon-agent.service
   

2. This will open an editor with a blank file. Add the following content, replacing your_proxy_server and port with your proxy's details:

   [Service]
   Environment="https_proxy=http://your_proxy_server:port"
   Environment="http_proxy=http://your_proxy_server:port"
   Environment="no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.1"
   

   If your proxy requires authentication, use the following format:

   [Service]
   Environment="https_proxy=http://user:password@your_proxy_server:port"
   Environment="http_proxy=http://user:password@your_proxy_server:port"
   Environment="no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.1"
   

3. Save the file and exit the editor. systemd will automatically reload the configuration.

4. Restart the axon-agent to apply the changes:

   sudo systemctl restart axon-agent
   

5. You can verify that the environment variables have been applied by checking the service's status:

   systemctl status axon-agent
