Hello guys,

Kindly asking for your help. I am new here, so if I am breaking some rules 
in this group please excuse me and let know.
I am trying to bind blackbox_exporter with prometheus. 
Blackbox_exporter is launched as docker container using guidance on the 
service web-site. 
Config is almost default:

[ec2-user@ip-10-10-10-10 prometheus]$ cat ~/blackbox.yml
modules:
  http_2xx:
    prober: http
    http:
      preferred_ip_protocol: "ip4"
  http_post_2xx:
    prober: http
    http:
      method: POST
  tcp_connect:
    prober: tcp
  pop3s_banner:
    prober: tcp
    tcp:
      query_response:
      - expect: "^+OK"
      tls: true
      tls_config:
        insecure_skip_verify: false
  ssh_banner:
    prober: tcp
    tcp:
      query_response:
      - expect: "^SSH-2.0-"
  irc_banner:
    prober: tcp
    tcp:
      query_response:
      - send: "NICK prober"
      - send: "USER prober prober prober :prober"
      - expect: "PING :([^ ]+)"
        send: "PONG ${1}"
      - expect: "^:[^ ]+ 001"
  icmp:
    prober: icmp


Blackbox launched as
docker run --rm -d -p 9115:9115 --name blackbox_exporter -v `pwd`:/config 
prom/blackbox-exporter:master --config.file=/config/blackbox.yml

Everything looks fine from first glance and I am able to get metrics 
directly from blackbox using web-browser when I am using the URL - 
http://10.10.10.10:9115/probe?target=prometheus.io&module=http_2xx 
<http://10.12.228.239:9115/probe?target=prometheus.io&module=http_2xx>

Problem appears when I want to have these metrics on Prometheus. It shows 
nothing when I am searching for these metrics on it

Prometheus config:

[ec2-user@ip-10-10-10-10 prometheus]$ cat prometheus.yml

global:
  scrape_interval:     15s # Set the scrape interval to every 15 seconds. 
Default is every 1 minute.
  evaluation_interval: 15s # Evaluate rules every 15 seconds. The default 
is every 1 minute.
alerting:
  alertmanagers:
  - static_configs:
    - targets:
      - localhost:9093
rule_files:
  - rules.yml
global:
  scrape_interval:     15s # Set the scrape interval to every 15 seconds. 
Default is every 1 minute.
  evaluation_interval: 15s # Evaluate rules every 15 seconds. The default 
is every 1 minute.
alerting:
  alertmanagers:
  - static_configs:
    - targets:
      - localhost:9093
rule_files:
  - rules.yml
scrape_configs:
  - job_name: 'blackbox'
  metrics_path: /probe
  params:
    module: [http_2xx]  # Look for a HTTP 200 response.
  static_configs:
  - targets:
    - http://prometheus.io
    relabel_configs:
  - source_labels: [__address__]
    target_label: __param_target
  - source_labels: [__param_target]
    target_label: instance
  - target_label: __address__
    replacement: 127.0.0.1:9115

The job is in Up state on prometheus but search for probe, http or any 
other Blackbox metrics related keywords returns nothing. 


I tried to make some investigation and noticed a difference in this 
exporter comparing for instance with snmp_exporter or vmware_exporter where 
we have everything works correctly. Not sure if it's important or not for 
this issue:
if I am using curl for blackbox I am getting the metrics but not final 
carriage return that's why I have to push Enter to get my CLI back:



With VMware_exporter the behavior is different and I am getting metrics 
with my CLI immediately.



Could you please advise where I should look into? 

Thank you very much!

Regards,
Vlad
