Proxy parameters are ignored on sending requests to the Backend

[ReiMueh]

When I try to send Requests to our Dynatrace instance, the Backendlistener fails to send them. I added "setProxy()" to the creation of the httpClient in the MintMetricSender Class. After doing that, sending the requests worked.

Hi @ReiMueh
can you please provide more details to this? Are you using a proxy in your setup where you have started the JMeter test?
Is the proxy already configured somewhere in the JMeter config so that it can be reused here?
Maybe you can provide code snippet or pull request with your changes?

Hi @christian-inzko-dt

I just added a line to create the proxy from the properties
and that I use in your creation of the HttpAsyncClientBuilder

public synchronized void setup(String name, String mintIngestUrl, String mintIngestToken) throws Exception {
		this.url = new URL(mintIngestUrl);
		this.token = mintIngestToken;
		this.name = name;
		HttpHost proxy = new HttpHost(JMeterUtils.getJMeterProperties().getProperty("proxy"), Integer.parseInt(JMeterUtils.getJMeterProperties().getProperty("proxyport")));

		IOReactorConfig ioReactorConfig = IOReactorConfig.custom().setIoThreadCount(MAX_THREADS).setConnectTimeout(CONNECT_TIMEOUT)
				.setSoTimeout(SOCKET_TIMEOUT)
				.build();
		ConnectingIOReactor ioReactor = new DefaultConnectingIOReactor(ioReactorConfig);
		PoolingNHttpClientConnectionManager connManager = new PoolingNHttpClientConnectionManager(ioReactor);
		httpClient = HttpAsyncClientBuilder.create().setConnectionManager(connManager).setMaxConnPerRoute(MAX_CONNECTIONS)
				.setMaxConnTotal(MAX_CONNECTIONS).setProxy(proxy)
				.setUserAgent("ApacheJMeter 5").disableCookieManagement().disableConnectionState().build();
		httpRequest = createRequest(this.url, this.token);
		httpClient.start();
}
