This Prometheus exporter allows "blackbox" probing of endpoints over
HTTP, HTTPS, DNS, TCP and ICMP. That is, it allows making requests using
various protocols from a management machine to standard network servers
and gathering metrics from them.

By default, Blackbox exporter runs as an unprivileged user. This is
suitable for probing TCP (including HTTP, HTTPS) and DNS endpoints. In
order to probe ICMP endpoints you must run as root - to do this using
the supplied rc.d script you can use the following commands:

rcctl enable blackbox_exporter
rcctl set blackbox_exporter user root
