blackbox exporter failing to recognised the service is not responding about blackbox_exporter HOT 7 CLOSED

That's correct. The blackbox exporter is being successfully scraped. You need to look at probe_success to see if the probe worked.

from blackbox_exporter.

Those are showing probe_success as 0 as is expected when the target is down.

Target parameter is missing

That's due to bash interpreting the & as the end of the command. Quote the URL.

from blackbox_exporter.

But the target is down and is not replying(reachable) as we can see from pod logs
and probe_http_status_code 0 is as well not 200 ,
so probe sucess is 0

Then should not i get a error as its down in prometheus web UI. The State is still UP while the service is down and not replying.

I think you should read https://www.robustperception.io/whats-up-doc/, in particular the last paragraph.

Thanks for more info, but for particular service that is down ..right now .. i am still getting
up=1
Just a bit confused that it should at least have been up=0 and if it was not sufficient , we could have employ the other sources to make sure of it.

Thanks 👍 .
I used the scrapped metric and it work as expected now. Was a bit confusing though, thanks for the help :).
