前言

blackbox-exporter会对HTTP、HTTPS、DNS、TCP、ICMP和gRPC上的端点进行黑盒探测。

Blackbox-Exporter

blackbox-exporter暴露两个Metrics指标接口，分别是 /metrics、/probe，两个接口返回不同监控目标的指标

Metrics接口

返回exporter的构建信息和exporter当前的运行状态：

# HELP blackbox_exporter_build_info A metric with a constant '1' value labeled by version, revision, branch, and goversion from which blackbox_exporter was built.
# TYPE blackbox_exporter_build_info gauge
blackbox_exporter_build_info{branch="HEAD",goversion="go1.10",revision="4a22506cf0cf139d9b2f9cde099f0012d9fcabde",version="0.12.0"} 1

# HELP process_virtual_memory_bytes Virtual memory size in bytes.
# TYPE process_virtual_memory_bytes gauge
process_virtual_memory_bytes 1.5609856e+07

Probe接口

Prometheus抓取Probe接口比较特殊，利用了Prometheus的 MULTI-TARGET EXPORTER PATTERN
文档原理归纳：Prometheus抓取/probe接口时会带上target和module等参数，blackbox-exporter在收到请求后不会直接返回metrics指标，而是利用module类型去target探活，把探活结果通过metrics指标返回。

实例

我们将使用 target prometheus.io和预定义 module http_2xx。它告诉blackbox-exporter发出GET请求，就像浏览器访问prometheus.io希望得到200 ok的返回一样。

curl 'localhost:9115/probe?target=prometheus.io&module=http_2xx'

返回的metrics：

# HELP probe_dns_lookup_time_seconds Returns the time taken for probe dns lookup in seconds
# TYPE probe_dns_lookup_time_seconds gauge
probe_dns_lookup_time_seconds 0.02679421
# HELP probe_duration_seconds Returns how long the probe took to complete in seconds
# TYPE probe_duration_seconds gauge
probe_duration_seconds 0.461619124
# HELP probe_failed_due_to_regex Indicates if probe failed due to regex
# TYPE probe_failed_due_to_regex gauge

probe_http_duration_seconds{phase="connect"} 0.062076202999999996
probe_http_duration_seconds{phase="processing"} 0.23481845699999998

# TYPE probe_http_uncompressed_body_length gauge
probe_http_uncompressed_body_length 14516
# HELP probe_http_version Returns the version of HTTP of the probe response
# TYPE probe_http_version gauge

blackbox-exporter的默认请求是IPV6，docker网络默认采用IPV4，这里需要注意。

web界面

blackbox-exporter在9115端口提供了一个web界面来检查最后几个探测，加载的配置和调试信息。

Prometheus

增加Prometheus的配置，告诉blackbox-exporter应该去哪些目标，通过什么方式探活。下面有两种方式增加blackbox-exporter的探活目标：

配置文件方式

修改prometheus.yaml

global:scrape_interval: 5sscrape_configs:
- job_name: blackbox # To get metrics about the exporter itselfmetrics_path: /metricsstatic_configs:- targets:- localhost:9115   # For Windows and macOS replace with - host.docker.internal:9115- job_name: blackbox-http # To get metrics about the exporter’s targetsmetrics_path: /probeparams:module: [http_2xx]static_configs:- targets:- http://prometheus.io    # Target to probe with http- https://prometheus.io   # Target to probe with https- http://example.com:8080 # Target to probe with http on port 8080relabel_configs:- source_labels: [__address__]target_label: __param_target- source_labels: [__param_target]target_label: instance- target_label: __address__replacement: localhost:9115  # The blackbox exporter’s real hostname:port. For Windows and macOS replace with - host.docker.internal:9115

其中最后的relabel_configs的含义是，把 “http://prometheus.io/probe?module=http_2xx” 转化为 “http://localhost:9115/probe?target=http://prometheus.io&module=http_2xx”。同时为每个指标新增一个instance的label，值为 http://prometheus.io

Probe方式

利用Probe这种CRD完成探测目标的添加。
