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 Internet-based Version Manifest Source

Include the following URLs in your proxy whitelist when your Version Manifest Source is set to Internet. Ops Manager needs access to these URLs over HTTPS to download agents and MongoDB versions:

Site Purpose
downloads.mongodb.com To download MongoDB Enterprise Builds.
opsmanager.mongodb.com To download the MongoDB version manifest.
fastdl.mongodb.org To download MongoDB Community Builds.

Note

The Automation Agent and Backup Daemon need direct access to these URLs to download MongoDB server binaries.
