Connection via Proxy about logstash-output-datadog_logs HOT 5 CLOSED

Hello @ricktg,

First of all, thanks for reaching and helping us improve this plugin.
Would it be possible to have more details about the setup you have for your proxy?

To give some context about my question, this plugin forward logs with a TLS-encrypted connection to Datadog intake.
So in order to be able to send logs to the proxy, we would need to remove the TLS-encryption as your proxy will not be able to validate our certificate, and probably to change the endpoint as well.

Thanks

Hi @NBParis,

Our current logstash setup has the java system property http.proxyHost and http.proxyPort configured in the startup script.
So the suggestion would be the plugin use this properties as proxy configuration.

Out datadog agent already has proxy configured as well to send the standard monitoring metrics.

Let me know if you need more info.

@ricktg So the main difference here is that the Datadog Logstash plugin is using TCP to forward logs and not HTTP which is probably one of the reason those parameters are not taken into account.

Something we could look into is to:

1. let you define a proxy endpoint (host and port) in the plugin
2. add an option to disable TLS encryption between Logstash and the proxy (as your proxy won't be able to validate our certificate)

What are your thoughts on this?

@NBParis, that should work perfectly in my case! I would even be able to remove the proxy system property since i've put there just for testing the datadog connection.

Thanks for the help!

Hi @ricktg,

We've just released a new version of the plugin containing the proxy settings logic, happy testing.
Thanks,
