Description

Use Case

I want to be able to set a proxy for inputs.eventhub_consumer to able to consume an Azure event hub from behind a corporate proxy.

Expected behavior

I expected to be able to set a proxy in the telegraf config.

Actual behavior

Such a setting does not exist for inputs.eventhub_consumer

Additional info

The currently used library "azure-event-hubs-go" seems to not support that, see: https://github.com/Azure/azure-event-hubs-go/issues/163

However, this answer suggests that it is possible using the newer "azeventhubs": https://github.com/Azure/azure-event-hubs-go/issues/163#issuecomment-2124205621

Research direction
Investigate migration of the eventhub consumer input plugin from the deprecated azure event hubs go library to the modern azeventhubs SDK (Azure SDK for Go). The current implementation is in plugins/inputs/eventhub consumer/. Explore the azeventhubs SDK's HTTP transport options to enable proxy configuration. Refer to the Azure SDK for Go documentation and the linked issue for guidance.
