Currently icmp, tcp, dns probers have supported to specify the source address by source_ip_address configuration. :https://github.com/prometheus/blackbox_exporter/pull/262

Http and grpc prober also need this features , I found https://github.com/prometheus/blackbox_exporter/pull/765 was working on http prober but didn't continue to finish.

This adds the configuration option source_ip_address to modules HTTP and GRPC which changes the prober's local address.

Hi @FOWind What's the status of the PR? I see the DCO check's failed. Is it the only reason why the PR is not merged yet? Thank you!

Hi @asokolov365 I think it's not a necessary feature for the blackbox_exporter, so there is no response to this PR from maintainers.

At the same time, I found many same feature request from ISSUE lists
