Hi
We renewed a certificate on a few hosts and prometheus and blackboxexporter are now not trusting the new certificate.
We get a tls: failed to verify certificate: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority
Browsers, curl and a few online certificate checkers trust the new certificate (chain).
I think it has something to do with the new Cross-signed certificates (See https://www.sectigo.com/knowledge-base/detail/Sectigo-Public-Intermediates-and-Roots/kA0Uj0000003eovKAA) The root CRT is the "Sectigo Public Server Authentication Root R46"
But I don't understand how to fix it.
What do I need to change to have prometheus (and blackboxexporter) also trust the new certificate (chain)?

Kind regards,
Thijs Vonk
