Configuring the proxy in the MMA extension configuration

Question

Hello,

I am using the policy 'Configure Log Analytics extension on Azure Arc enabled Windows servers' to configure the extesion to the right workspace.
The workspace is well configured but I can't find a policy to configure the proxy for the MMA agent.

At the moment, I am using a powershell script that is deployed through Configuration Manager. It does the job but it isn't great as it is not included in the policy.

Does anyone have a better idea ?

Thanks

Marc

Answer 1

Hi,
If you want to extend the functionality of a policy basically you need to clone it and modify it according to your needs. Basically, the deployment that the policy does is based on ARM template deployment. Proxy URI can be configured by adding proxyUri property within settings. For configuring credentials for the proxy you can add properties proxyUser and proxyPassword in protectedSettings. Make sure to pass the proxyPassword securely if you use it.
