blackbox_exporter proxy configuration

[deln...@gmail.com]

Trying to monitor set of URLs that are not accessible from the server where blackbox exprter is running. Each monitored instance is available via reverse proxy (nginx exposing node_exporter). Moving bb exporter behind reverse proxy would solve the problem with adding some complexity. Is it designed to run in this way? There's an option to use proxy_url within module config - but it's not documented. I might me missing also. How do you usually approach this problem?

Yes, that's fine to do.

That's something we pick up because of the configuration library we use, it's not a supported thing.
