Configure web proxy settings in the SolarWinds Platform
This topic applies to all SolarWinds Platform products.
If your SolarWinds Platform server does not have Internet access, you can use a proxy server to allow the SolarWinds Platform server to connect to certain pages and websites. Use a proxy server to:
- Access the THWACK community
- Access the product blog
- Check for maintenance updates
- Access an alerting instance you integrated with your SolarWinds Platform server. See Alert Integrations in the SolarWinds Platform.
To configure web proxy settings:
-
In the SolarWinds Platform Web Console, click Settings > All Settings > Product specific settings > Proxy Settings.
-
Select Use the following settings, and specify the IP address and port number of the proxy server.
-
If the proxy server requires authentication, select the check box, and specify the user name and password.
-
Enter a URL and click Test connection to verify that you can reach the destination address through the proxy.
To test the connection, you can use any URL, such as https://www.solarwinds.com or https://thwack.solarwinds.com.
