Steps for configuring a proxy server, which adds extra security by enabling an
intermediary gateway for sending your workload data to Cloudera Observability.
Describes how to add a proxy server as an intermediary gateway.
You can configure the Telemetry Publisher service to send
data by way of a proxy server for database and metric data uploads. By default, this
configuration property is disabled.
Telemetry Publisher uses the TLS and
HTTPS protocols to send telemetry information to Cloudera Observability, which
ensures that the data is encrypted. The proxy you use must support the HTTP CONNECT
method to be able to pass through the encrypted messages. For more information, see
the associated HTTP CONNECT Request for Comments (RFC) document.
In a supported web browser on a Workload cluster, log in to Cloudera Manager
with administrator privileges.
In Cloudera Manager, select Clusters, locate and select
Cloudera Management Service, and then select the
Configuration tab.
From the Filters panel in the SCOPE section, select Telemetry
Publisher.
In the Search field, enter proxy, which displays the
proxy configuration properties.
In the Proxy Support for Telemetry Publisher property, select the
Telemetry Publisher Default Group check box and do
the following:
In the Proxy Server field, enter the proxy server
name.
In the Proxy Port field, enter the port number
for the proxy server.
In the Proxy User field, enter the proxy server
user name, which is used for access authentication.
In the Proxy Password field, enter the password
for the proxy server user name.
Click Save Changes, and then restart the Telemetry
Publisher service.
