Configure Ops Manager to Use an HTTP Proxy for Outgoing Traffic

In restricted network environments, you can configure Ops Manager to use a proxy to make outbound network requests. You would use a proxy to fetch files from MongoDB, including Agents, MongoDB server binaries and the Ops Manager version manifest or to contact any third-party integrated services you have enabled.

Add Whitelist of Sites for Version Manifest Source

Ops Manager, the Backup Daemon, and MongoDB Agents need direct outbound access to certain MongoDB, Inc.-hosted URLs over HTTPS to download the MongoDB Agent and MongoDB versions.

If you want Ops Manager, the Backup Daemon, and the MongoDB Agents to use a proxy to limit internet access, you need to configure your proxy to allow access to MongoDB URLs.

Which URLs you add to the whitelist depends upon what you have set as your Installer Download Source. This setting has two subsettings: Ops Manager gets installers from: and Agents get the installers from:. The Agents’ installer source is also the Backup Daemon’s source.
