produce_canary_events currently looks up stream config from https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?format=json&action=streamconfigs&all_settings=true. To contact this URL, it must use webproxy (I think due to Analytics VLAN firewall).
We could open up a hole in the Analytics VLAN to this endpoint, but the more correct thing to do would be to use api-ro.discovery.wmnet with a Host header set to meta.wikimedia.org. We still might need a VLAN hole to api-ro.discovery.wmnet.
