Configure Proxy Lists

If you configure multiple subscription proxies for your environment, you can configure proxy lists for client updates. If a given proxy is unavailable when a client requests updates, the client contacts each proxy on its proxy list in turn until it succeeds in downloading the updates. You can configure a proxy list for client updates globally for your entire CA Enterprise Log Manager environment, or locally for individual subscription clients.

With multiple subscription proxies, you can also configure a proxy list for content updates. These are servers that receive content updates, such as queries, reports and correlation rules, and distribute them to the Management Server where they are stored for use by CA Enterprise Log Manager. You can configure a proxy list for content updates only at the global level.

Proxy lists help ensure that subscription updates are successfully retrieved and distributed in a timely manner. Even in a small CA Enterprise Log Manager environment, it is good practice to configure at least one backup proxy for both client and content updates, in case the primary proxy is unavailable.

To configure a proxy list

1. Click the Administration tab and the Services subtab.
2. Click Subscription Service.

   The Global Service Configuration for the Subscription Service appears.

3. Do one of the following:
   • To specify a global proxy list for your entire CA Enterprise Log Manager environment, click the Administration tab.

     or

   • To specify a local proxy list for a specific subscription client, click the server name, click the Administration tab, and switch to local configuration.
4. Add the desired proxy servers to the proxy lists.

   Important! In a mixed subscription environment, where you have configured both online and offline subscription proxies, do not include offline proxies in the proxy list for any online subscription client. If you do, the online subscription client automatically receives all updates that are manually installed on the offline proxy server, instead of the modules you selected.

5. Click Save.
