I am looking for some assistance in seting up blackbox_exporter to query websites AND DNS servers. Similar in the way that Cacti and Smokeping will do it.
HTTP/HTTPs querying works just fine. But here is what I have for my DNS prober.
dns_test:
prober: dns
timeout: 10s
dns:
preferred_ip_protocol: "ip4"
ip_protocol_fallback: false
transport_protocol: "udp"
Do I have to specify the DNS record? Is there a way for it to be a catch-all? I have 5 websites configured in a yml file for http probing.
Thanks!
