Enable Proxy Server for Outgoing Calls#

Some Squirro Services need to access the Internet.

For example, the sqdatasourced service may need to access an internet data source to load data.

To set up a proxy, you can edit /etc/squirro/common.ini and add the proxy configuration as follows:

[proxy]
proxy = http://proxy.mycorp.com:8080
no_proxy = 127.0.0.1,localhost,127.0.0.1:81,localhost:81

This particular configuration will enable the indicated proxy for all requests, except any requests to the listed exceptions (localhost nodes in this case).

Reference: Learn more about common.ini.

Warning

All services will need to be restarted after any change of this configuration. You can use the squirro_restart command to restart the Squirro services.
