Thanks Brian! My worry is: does this blackbox exporter eat-up too many resources on prometheus server which might cause performance issues on Prometheus process? Just want to make sure before automating the process. So it's safe to run blackbox exporter on prometheus box itself? Any issues or alarms I should be aware of?
