Proxy support in Usage Insights
Usage Insights supports both authenticated and unauthenticated proxy servers when connecting to NetBackup. Usage Insights supports both http and https protocols. These protocols are used by NetBackup to relay Usage Insights data to Cohesity.
Unauthenticated proxy support with http was first introduced in NetBackup 8.3. With NetBackup 9.1, authenticated proxy support and unauthenticated proxy support with https is also added.
