The Blackbox Exporter allows probing of web endpoints, for example: web certificate expiry, certificate validity, HTTP response. The configuration of endpoints is done in Prometheus' `scrape_config.yml`.
Basic pre-configured Blackbox modules are:
* http_2xx - Looks for a 200 HTTP response
* http_post_2xx - Looks for a 200 HTTP response using POST method
* tcp_connect - Probes by tcp
* http_ssl - HTTP probe for certificate validity
To probe an endpoint Prometheus has to have targets which to probe - the following is an example of what the Prometheus scrape config should include.\
