Blackbox exporter configuration

To enable blackbox_exporter include role task: blackbox_exporter

The configuration content. The example below utilizes a file named 'blackbox_exporter.yml' in your Ansible root directory's 'files' directory. If no configuration content is defined, a default configuration file is utilized. You will want to customize your configuration file content!:

prometheus_blackbox_exporter_cfg: '{{ lookup("file", "../files/blackbox_exporter.yml") | from_yaml }}'

Alternatively, the configuration file can be defined directly:

prometheus_blackbox_exporter_cfg:
  http_2xx:
    http:
      fail_if_not_ssl: false
      fail_if_ssl: false
      method: GET

      valid_http_versions:
      - HTTP/1.1
      - HTTP/2
