Hybrid Cloud Ops Extension for Zabbix
Q. Is it possible to access AWS API via an HTTP proxy?
Answer
It is possible to configure the following.
1: Set proxy information
Set proxy information to environment variable or hyclops.conf
- http_proxy : proxy setting for communication of http
- https_proxy : proxy setting for communication of https
- no_proxy : proxy setting for excluded network
In case of setting in hyclops.conf
[environments]
http_proxy = http://username:password@proxy.example.com:8080
https_proxy = http://username:password@proxy.example.com:8080
no_proxy = "localhost,127.0.0.1,10.1.1.*"
2: Add code in libcloud for reading proxy settings
Add code in libcloud/common/base.py(in “apache-libcloud” python package).
import os # add
import base64 # add
def connect
...
### begin to add
proxy_env = "https_proxy" if port == 443 else "http_proxy"
proxy_url = os.environ.get(proxy_env)
if proxy_url:
proxy = urlparse.urlparse(proxy_url)
if proxy.hostname and proxy.port:
if port == 443:
connection = self.conn_classes[secure](proxy.hostname, proxy.port)
if proxy.username and proxy.password:
headers = kwargs.get('headers', [])
headers = {"Proxy-Authorization":"Basic " + base64.b64encode(proxy.username + ":" + proxy.password)}
kwargs["headers"] = headers
connection.set_tunnel(**kwargs)
else:
connection = self.conn_classes[False](proxy.hostname, proxy.port)
### end to add
self.connetion = connection
Note
If your systems python version is 2.6, you cannot use authentication proxy. If you use the proxy of no authentication, you have to set the following settings.
Set in libcloud/common/base.py(in “apache-libcloud” python package).
def connect
...
connection = self.conn_classes[False]("proxy hostname", proxy port number) # <=Add proxy settings option
