Hi Srirathan,

On this page: https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO43/Agent-to-Controller+Connections

There is a paragraph that reads:

If the agents in your environment connect to the Controller (whether a SaaS Controller or a on-premises Controller) through a proxy, the Controller host and port settings should be those of the Controller, but you will need to configure the proxy settings for that agent. See, for example, the proxy settings descriptions in Java Agent Configuration Properties. 

I recommend looking at the Connection Settings info in general.

Let me know if this helped you.

I went throught the document what was unclear to me, isn't there any config change needed in proxy if not how the traffic from proxy will be routed to controller ?? so there isn't need of any proxy softwares to route the traffic ??

Good question -- I'm asking someone and will get back to you.

Here's one for Apache acting as a proxy
