Question regarding probing remote instances having basic auth about blackbox_exporter HOT 4 CLOSED

You can pass in headers with the http module, which would let you do basic auth.

from blackbox_exporter.

Ok. So we would need to have have multiple module configurations if we have targets using differrent BASCI AUTH credentials, right? Or is there a way to pass the headers for each target like done with the targets in the Prometheus configuration (via relabeling).

from blackbox_exporter.

Yes, you'd need a module config per different set of credentials.

I'd suggest looking into having a monitoring set of credentials that works across targets.

from blackbox_exporter.

Yes, that would be one way of limiting the amount of required modules.

Btw, thx for your awesome work here (and all other Prometheus related project). I really appreciate it!
