Alerting thru Grafana 4.1.1

Hi guys am newbie to grafana, although I’ve installed it on an instance and when I try to configure alert and send test it throws me the below error:
t=2017-04-28T14:44:43+0000 lvl=info msg=“Sending notification” logger=alerting.notifier type=slack id=0 isDefault=false
t=2017-04-28T14:44:43+0000 lvl=info msg=“Executing slack notification” logger=alerting.notifier.slack ruleId=0 notification=TestAlert

Is your instance behind a proxy? That log shows that the instance is trying to connect to 172.17.0.1:443 which isn’t the IP of hooks.slack.com

Yes It is ,how do we fix it if that is stopping it ?

It appears that the proxy is not working properly, you’ll need to sort that out or stop using it.

i mean yah there isn’t a way i could stop using it maybe i should sort that out ? or use some other proxy internal to our company ?
