Cloud-Based Monitoring via Custom Proxy

IN THIS ARTICLE

Outlines how to connect to Cloud-Based Monitoring via custom proxy

REQUIREMENTS

• Qumulo Core 2.6.4 or higher

NOTE: VPN remote support is not available when connecting to Cloud-based Monitoring via a customer-specified proxy.

DETAILS

Qumulo supports connecting to Cloud-Based Monitoring through a customer-specified proxy. This functionality is provided via an updated qq command and corresponding REST API endpoint. You can specify a custom proxy and port for both MQ (cloud based monitoring), and S3 (used as a target for core dumps and log uploads).

Using the ‘--all-proxy-host’ flag will configure both S3 and MQ to communicate via the same proxy settings. If you plan on using a single proxy for cloud-based monitoring, use the --all-proxy-host options.

The qq documentation for

set_monitoring_conf
