"basic_auth" in prometheus.yml provides credentials for talking to the exporter (i.e. for prometheus to authenticate itself to blackbox_exporter) - not for blackbox_exporter to authenticate to the target service.
To get blackbox_exporter to use http basic auth when talking to the target, you need to configure it to do so, as in the example here <https://github.com/prometheus/blackbox_exporter/blob/v0.24.0/example.yml#L57-L66> : modules: http_basic_auth_example: prober: http timeout: 5s http: method: POST headers: Host: "login.example.com" basic_auth: username: "username" password: "mysecret" This means creating a new module in your blackbox.yml, and then using that module instead of http_2xx in your scrape job. Personally, I like to use rewriting rules to set the module as well: - job_name: blackbox file_sd_configs: - files: - /etc/prometheus/blackbox.d/*.yml metrics_path: /probe relabel_configs: - source_labels: [__address__] target_label: instance - source_labels: [__address__] target_label: __param_target - source_labels: [module] target_label: __param_module - target_label: __address__ replacement: 127.0.0.1:9115 # Blackbox exporter With targets files like this: - labels: module: icmp targets: - 8.8.8.8 - 8.8.4.4 - labels: module: certificate targets: - https://google.com/ This allows a single scrape job in prometheus to use many different blackbox exporter modules.
