Does the AWS SQS Poller app support a proxy server option like the Splunk Add-on for AWS?

Hi All,

Does the AWS SQS Poller app support Proxy server option like SPLUNK Add-on for AWS?
The SQS Poller data input does not provide an option to configure proxy server, but is there a way we can change it in the background and run it which will connect to proxy server and then to AWS API?

Initially we were going with Add-on for AWS, but looks like the add-on cannot consume messages from SQS if it is not coming from Cloudtrail or Config -> SNS --> SQS.

Regards,
Badri

@badrinath_it,

As it currently been written no, but it relatively simple enhancement. This App was written for an internal process at my company and at this time I do not plan on adding a configurable proxy setting. Though I am scheduled to do some maintenance on the module in the next coming months, feel free to add an enhancement request @ https://github.com/httpstergeek/splunk-sqs/issues. If you need this now run npm install proxy-agent --save in the $APP$/bin/app_dr @ line 134 in sqs_poller.js:

var proxy = require('proxy-agent');

aws.config.update({
  httpOptions: { agent: proxy('$YOUR_PROXY$') }
});

You might have to play around a bit or look at the proxy-agent documentation. Probably not what you wanted to here. Its open on git to be forked. Cheers
