To configure Blackbox exporter, it's possible to probe endpoints over HTTP, HTTPS, DNS, TCP and ICMP.
[1] On a Node you'd like to monitor with Blackbox exporter, set Prometheus repository first and Install Blackbox exporter .
[root@node02 ~]#
dnf -y install blackbox_exporter
[2] This is the setting file of Blackbox exporter. (Keep default on this example)
[root@node02 ~]#
vi /etc/prometheus/blackbox.yml
modules:
  http_2xx:
    prober: http
  http_post_2xx:
    prober: http
    http:
      method: POST
  tcp_connect:
    prober: tcp
  pop3s_banner:
    prober: tcp
    tcp:
      query_response:
      - expect: "^+OK"
      tls: true
      tls_config:
        insecure_skip_verify: false
  ssh_banner:
    prober: tcp
    tcp:
      query_response:
      - expect: "^SSH-2.0-"
  irc_banner:
    prober: tcp
    tcp:
      query_response:
      - send: "NICK prober"
      - send: "USER prober prober prober :prober"
      - expect: "PING :([^ ]+)"
        send: "PONG ${1}"
      - expect: "^:[^ ]+ 001"
  icmp:
    prober: icmp

[root@node02 ~]#
systemctl enable --now blackbox_exporter
[3] If Firewalld is running, allow service ports.
[root@node02 ~]#
firewall-cmd --add-port=9115/tcp --permanent

success
[root@node02 ~]#
firewall-cmd --reload

success
[4] Add settings on Prometheus Server Node.

[root@dlp ~]#
systemctl restart prometheus
[5] Access to the Prometheus Web UI and move to [Status] - [Targets], then new configured targets are shown.
It's possible to see data on [probe_success] metric. [1] means success, [0] means fail.
