After you install the data collector, you can add a connection to a proxy server or
change the existing connection to the proxy server.
About this task
The data collector supports proxy servers that don't use authentication and ones that use basic authentication.
Procedure
-
Go the directory where you downloaded and extracted the data collector files.
-
Choose one of the following options:
- On Windows, run
configureProxy.bat
- On AIX® and Linux®, run
configureProxy.sh
-
Type Yes to add or change the connection to the proxy server, and then
type the host name and port number for the proxy server.
-
Type Yes to authenticate the connection with the proxy server, and then
type the user name and password.
- Optional:
Add the certificate file for your proxy server to the keystore that is provided with the data collector. To add the certificate file, run a command similar to the following example:
data_collector_dir/jre/bin/keytool -importcert -noprompt -trustcacerts
-alias your_certificate -file path_to_certificate
-keystore "data_collector_dir/jre/lib/security/cacerts" -storepass keystore_password
The default password for the keystore is changeit.
-
When the connection to the proxy server is verified, type Yes to save
your changes.
If the connection isn't verified, repeat steps 1-4 and ensure that you enter the correct
information and that the proxy server is available.
Results
Your configuration changes are saved in the setup.properties file in the data_collector_dir/conf/ directory.
What to do next
Restart the data collector.
