Running this software From binaries Download the most suitable binary from the releases tab Then: ./blackbox exporter Using the docker image Note: You may want to enable ipv6 in your docker configuration docker run --rm \\ -p 9115/tcp \\ --name blackbox exporter \\ -v $(pwd):/config \\ quay.io/prometheus/blackbox-exporter:latest --config.file=/config/blackbox.yml Checking the results Visiting http://localhost:9115/probe?target=google.com&module=http 2xx will return metrics for a HTTP probe against google.com. The probe success metric indicates if the probe succeeded. Adding a debug=true parameter will return debug information for that probe. The probe will also return timing metrics for measuring how long it takes to probe the target. For example, you can find out how much of the probe timeout is used. This is useful because Prometheus timeouts can never be longer than the scrape interval. probe duration seconds / probe timeout seconds This query will return the ratio of remaining time. Metrics concerning the operation of the exporter itself are available at the endpoint . TLS and basic authentication The Blackbox Exporter supports TLS and basic authentication. This enables better control of the various HTTP endpoints. To use TLS and/or basic authentication, you need to pass a configuration file using the --web.config.file parame","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/prometheus","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/prometheus/blackbox_exporter/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
