Configuring SUSE Observability Kubernetes Agent to Proxy Connections

The SUSE Observability Kubernetes Agent allows you to configure HTTP or HTTPS proxy settings for the connections it initiates.

Proxy for communication with SUSE Observability

To configure the agent to proxy connections to the SUSE Observability backend, you can use Helm configuration.

Helm Configuration

Via `values.yaml` File

Open your Helm chart values.yaml file.
Locate the global.proxy.url configuration and specify the proxy URL:
```
 global:
   proxy:
     url: "https://proxy.example.com:8080"
```
Optionally, if the proxy does not have a signed certificate, disable SSL verification by setting global.skipSslValidation to true:
```
 global:
   skipSslValidation: true
```

Via Command Line Flag

During installation of the Helm chart, use the --set flag to specify the proxy URL:

 helm install suse-observability-agent suse-observability/suse-observability-agent --set global.proxy.url="https://proxy.example.com:8080"

To disable SSL validation via the command line, use:

 helm install suse-observability-agent suse-observability/suse-observability-agent --set global.skipSslValidation=true
