Prometheus exporter for probing network endpoints via HTTP, HTTPS, DNS, TCP, ICMP, and gRPC.
The Prometheus Blackbox Exporter is a versatile probing tool that allows blackbox monitoring of network endpoints through multiple protocols including HTTP, HTTPS, DNS, TCP, ICMP, and gRPC. It enables external monitoring of services by generating Prometheus metrics from probe results, making it essential for monitoring service availability, response times, TLS certificate expiration, and overall endpoint health. The exporter features a web UI for debugging probes and supports configuration hot-reloading for dynamic probe management.
