Hi everybody!

Brian sent me here to ask questions so I do:

The documentation says "Blackbox exporter is configured [...] and command-line flags (such as [...] what port to listen on [...]".
I really tried hard but could not find information about howto set a different port the exporter is listening on...

THX in advance!

Boris

Sorry for that - I did not remember that this mailing list is not specific for the "blackbox_exporter" so my question is about the "blackbox_exporter"!!!

Hi,

the command line help contains the hint for the relevant flag:

$ blackbox_exporter --help |& grep listen
--web.listen-address=":9115"
The address to listen on for HTTP requests.

Kind regards,
Christian
