I have my probe job configured on prometheus side like this:
- job_name: 'probe-job'
params:
module:
- http_2xx
scrape_interval: 2m
scrape_timeout: 10s
metrics_path: /probe
scheme: http
static_configs:
- targets: ['xyz/api/serverping']
- targets: ['xyz/api/serverping']
- targets: ['xyz/api/serverping']
- targets: ['xyz/api/serverping']
relabel_configs:
- source_labels: [__address__]
target_label: __param_target
- source_labels: [__param_target]
target_label: instance
- target_label: __address__
replacement: {bb exporter url}:9115
Currently there are 5 servers in different time zones, each running its instance of blackbox exporter. Example above can only address one. The way I would do it now, is to create a new job for every instance, since I can't find a way to insert multiple urls in replacement field. Is there a way to insert multiple blackbox exporter urls, since they will all probe the same targets?
You can use the blackbox exporter as though as it was a normal exporter (rather than how you usually use it).
