[ { type: install message: <<EOM To start blackbox_exporter, create a configuration file at %%PREFIX%%/etc/blackbox_exporter.yml and run "sysrc blackbox_exporter_enable=yes". For details about the configuration file format, visit https://github.com/prometheus/blackbox_exporter/blob/%%DISTVERSIONFULL%%/CONFIGURATION.md Since blackbox_exporter allows setting arbitrary probe targets via HTTP parameters, it is set to listen on localhost only by default. To change the listen address, set the blackbox_exporter_listen_address rcvar. To use the 'ping' module, blackbox_exporter needs to run with root privileges. To run blackbox_exporter with root privileges, run "sysrc blackbox_exporter_user=root". By default, blackbox exporter will log via syslog. Examples for controlling which log file and setting up log rotation may be found in: %%DATADIR%% EOM } ]
