Forwarding / Flushing Metrics to Datadog Cloud from restricted outbound traffic using Proxy

If your network configuration restricted outbound traffic, proxy all Agent traffic through one or several hosts that have more permissive outbound policies.

A few options are available to send traffic to Datadog over SSL/TLS for hosts that are not directly connected to the Internet.

• Using a web proxy, such as Squid or Microsoft Web Proxy, that is already deployed to your network
• Using HAProxy (if you want to proxy more than 16-20 Agents through the same proxy)
• Using the Agent as a proxy (for up to 16 Agents per proxy, only on Agent v5 )
• Using Prometheus Pushgateway – Refer – https://openapm.io/landscape/collector/prometheus-push-gateway
