Adding proxy configuration in Instana Sensor for AZURE

We need to use a proxy definition to reach Azure from the Instana agent on which there is a Instana cloud service agents

In the AWS conguration is possible to specify a proxy

We need the same option for AZURE

In the INSTANA documentation

To configure AWS sensors to use proxy configuration, add the following agent configuration settings:

com.instana.plugin.aws:
proxy_host: 'example.com' # proxy host name or ip address
proxy_port: 3128 # proxy port
proxy_protocol: 'HTTP' # proxy protocol: HTTP or HTTPS
proxy_username: 'username' # OPTIONAL: proxy username
proxy_password: 'password' # OPTIONAL: proxy password
tagging: # proxy setup for AWS Tagging API, used for AWS resource monitoring filtering
proxy_host: 'example.com' # proxy host name or ip address
proxy_port: 3128 # proxy port
proxy_protocol: 'HTTP' # proxy protocol: HTTP or HTTPS
proxy_username: 'username' # OPTIONAL: proxy username
proxy_password: 'password' # OPTIONAL: proxy password

Proxy settings can also be configured at the level of individual AWS Sensor.
