Hi guys, We are using black box exporter to monitor ssh and ping.
For ssh, (we monitor the port 22) if we stop sshd service, actually the service will be auto-recovered, but black box exporter detect the recover behavior after about 5mins. For ping, we use icmp module to monitor system ping, we deleted the IP tables, then Prometheus triggered 2 alerts, one is SSH is failed, the other is Ping is failed. And after the IP table is recovered, the alert for Ping can be cleared after about 20mins, but SSH is still there. So it is a good approach to use blackbox exporter to monitor SSH and PING? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prometheus Users" group.
