Check_mk (english) aws_exceptions behind proxy server

Rudikza · August 19, 2020, 1:03pm

Hello.

I am trying to run various aws plugins behind a proxy server. I have set the https_proxy and http_proxy environment variables and also set the proxy server in HTTP proxies but these settings are ignored and the plugin tries to access the aws services directly.

Am I missing something or are the AWS plugins not written to use the proxy settings?

The special agent plugin for AWS is using Boto3 - The AWS SDK for Python.

Looking at the source code of this plugin, they don’t seem to use any HTTP proxy setting and also its not possible to configure it via the WATO >> AWS Datasource program.

Maybe a feature request is required or you could try doing something like in the below link?
