The proxy settings are configured per the standard JRE settings. These are exposed in the Node Proxies tab of your Snaplex in SnapLogic Manager.

Configuring the Script Snap
...
to Use a HTTP Proxy
HTTP-compatible Snap Packs can use a HTTP proxy configured in the Node Proxies configuration tab of a Snaplex within SnapLogic Manager. However, the Script Snap allows you to write scripts that call external processes (for example: curl) and these scripts will not be aware of proxy configurations within the SnapLogic application.
You can use curl to configure a proxy directly via the --proxy argument. To enforce proxy usage across all usages of the Script Snap, set the http_proxy and/or https_proxy environment variables within the following file:
| Code Block |
|---|
/etc/sysconfig/jcc. |
Environment variables declared within the /etc/sysconfig/jcc file are visible to the Snaplex application (OS-level environment variables are not visible). If the /etc/sysconfig directory and /etc/sysconfig/jcc file does not exist in your Snaplex, run the following command with your own username/password (if authentication is required), proxy-ip-address, and port (you could also add https_proxy) to create them:
| Code Block |
|---|
sudo mkdir -p /etc/sysconfig; sudo sh -c "echo 'export http_proxy=username:password@proxy-ip-address:port' >> /etc/sysconfig/jcc" |
Once After the file and it’s its directory is are created, run one of the following commands to restart the Snaplex application:
| Code Block |
|---|
/opt/snaplogic/bin/jcc.sh restart
c:\opt\snaplogic\bin\jcc.bat restart |
| Note | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
For Windows systems, the jcc.bat file has to be updated to pass the environment values to the service. |
The http_proxy/https_proxy environment variable is now active within the SnapLogic product.
...
You can now run your script to call the external process.
For example, the following Script Snap uses the subprocess library to execute curl and adds the response body to the output document.
| Code Block |
|---|
# Import the interface required by the Script snap.
from com.snaplogic.scripting.language import ScriptHook
import subprocess
class TransformScript(ScriptHook):
def __init__(self, input, output, error, log):
self.input = input
self.output = output
self.error = error
self.log = log
# The "execute()" method is called once when the pipeline is started
# and allowed to process its inputs or just send data to its outputs.
def execute(self):
self.log.info("Executing Transform script")
while self.input.hasNext():
try:
# Read the next input document, store it in a new dictionary, and write this as an output document.
inDoc = self.input.next()
proc = subprocess.Popen(['curl','https://www.snaplogic.com'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
(out, err) = proc.communicate()
outDoc = {
'original' : out
}
self.output.write(inDoc, outDoc)
except Exception as e:
errDoc = {
'error' : str(e)
}
self.log.error("Error in python script")
self.error.write(errDoc)
self.log.info("Script executed")
# The "cleanup()" method is called after the snap has exited the execute() method
def cleanup(self):
self.log.info("Cleaning up")
# The Script Snap will look for a ScriptHook object in the "hook" variable. The snap will then call the hook's "execute" method.
hook = TransformScript(input, output, error, log) |
On execution, the proxy access log shows the request being routed through the proxy.
Troubleshooting
To verify if outbound requests are permitted from the Snaplex node, run:
...
The above configuration is the typical HTTP Proxy configuration, a forward proxy, which can forward requests to any endpoint. You can use the same HTTP proxy for connecting with the SnapLogic control plane and also for connecting to other REST endpoints, such as Salesforce. Forward HTTP proxy type is the most flexible method for integrating multiple endpoints. In some scenarios, your network operations team can configure a reverse proxy instead of a forward proxy. In that case, all requests to the proxy are directly sent to the SnapLogic control plane. For example, if https://myproxy.test.com/ is the proxy server, a request will return the status from the SnapLogic control plane.
For example:
...
To enable the Snaplex to work with the reverse proxy, add the following information to your Snaplex properties:
