About this task
Optionally, you can configure your integration servers
to connect to Product Insights through an
HTTP proxy server, by setting the httpProxy parameter
on the mqsichangebluemixreporting command.
If the HTTP proxy requires authentication through a user name and
password, you can use the mqsisetdbparms command to provide
these credentials through the httpproxy:: resource
name.
If you would prefer to connect to Product Insights through the Product Insights gateway, see Configuring a connection to the Product Insights service through a gateway. For information about connecting directly
to the Product Insights service without routing
through a proxy or gateway, see Reporting startup and usage information to IBM Cloud Product Insights.
For
more information about Product Insights, see IBM Cloud Product Insights overview.
Procedure
Follow these steps to enable your IBM Integration Bus integration servers to connect
to the Product Insights service through an
HTTP proxy server:
- Configure your integration servers to use the HTTP proxy
server, by specifying the -y httpProxy parameter
on the mqsichangebluemixreporting command. For example, the following command sets the startup and usage
reporting service for all integration servers to active,
and specifies that the startup and usage information will be sent
via the proxy server that is specified by the -y parameter
(https://mygateway.co.uk):
mqsichangebluemixreporting IBNODE -g -c active -j https://hybridconnect-api.ng.bluemix.net
-k 9ec5g5c2-5cm1-3287-2bxd-3c71fc22d467 -y https://mygateway.co.uk
You can remove the setting for a previously specified proxy
by setting the -y parameter to "".
For example:
mqsichangebluemixreporting IBNODE -g -c active -j https://hybridconnect-api.ng.bluemix.net
-k 9ec5g5c2-5cm1-3287-2bxd-3c71fc22d467 -y ""
- If the HTTP proxy server requires authentication through
a user name and password, use the mqsisetdbparms command to specify
the credentials on the httpproxy:: resource name.
You can set the resource name to apply to either an HTTP
proxy with a specified host name, in the form httpproxy::proxy_hostname,
or as a default for any HTTP proxy that does not have a matching httpproxy::proxy_hostname setting,
by specifying httpproxy::HTTPPROXY.
For example,
use the following command to associate a user name and password with
a connection to a specified HTTP proxy server (in this example,
https://mygateway.co.uk):
mqsisetdbparms IBNODE -n httpproxy::https://mygateway.co.uk -u myUserID -p myPassword
Alternatively,
use the following command to specify the credentials to be used as
a default, for connecting to any HTTP proxy server that does not have
a matching
httpproxy::proxy_hostname setting:
mqsisetdbparms IBNODE -n httpproxy::HTTPPROXY -u myProxyUsername -p myProxyPassword
