Prometheus Azure Service Discovery behind a proxy server

[Durga Prasad Kommareddy]

I have Prometheus running on a azure VM. And have few other VMs in multiple subscriptions peered with the prometheus VM/Vnet.

So i can reach the target VM metrics at http://IP:9100/metrics. But the service discovery itself is not working unless i use a public IP/internet  Prometheus service discovery and microsoft authentication.

Is there a way to enable or add proxy config just for the service discoery and microsoft authentication part ? i dont need proxy for the actual metrcis scraping because the VM can talk to all my target VMs so that'll work.

The configuration of azure sd is here:

https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#azure_sd_config

It has its own local settings for proxy_url, proxy_connect_header etc, which relate purely to the service discovery, and not to scraping.
