Configuring proxy for OpenTelemetry Collector for VM-based clusters

Learn how to set up and validate a proxy server configuration for the OpenTelemetry Collector in both Cloudera on cloud (Datahub/Datalake) and Cloudera on premises (Private Cloud Base) environments.

This configuration enables routing telemetry data through a proxy server positioned between the OpenTelemetry Collector and Cloudera Control Plane. This ensures proper functionality and seamless data flow when a proxy server is introduced into the open telemetry pipeline.

You must configure a proxy for the OpenTelemetry Collector under the following use cases.
