Proxy Server Configuration

You cannot contact Splunk Enterprise instances that are on networks that require proxy servers without additional configuration. Add an environment variable to the computer that runs the Splunk ODBC Driver.

If your network requires proxy servers, on the computer running the Splunk ODBC Driver, add one of the following environment variable names, depending on the protocol of the management port (that is, HTTP or HTTPS):

• https_proxy
• http_proxy

The driver checks the environment variable that corresponds to the protocol of the management port. The variable's contents should be in the following format:

[protocol://][user:password@]proxy_machine[:port]

Within this string, protocol:// is ignored if present, and the optional :port number specifies the host's port on which the proxy operates. For more information, see "Environment Variables".
