Can you add the DCO?

I used the github GUI to put forward this contribution, so I'm not 100% sure it's possible at this point in time. I will look in the settings to see if DCO is there. DCO is a build status check that is preventing this merge, but I believe an admin can still merge it if the settings are changed for the repo. Also, I checked to Allow edits from maintainers so perhaps you can conduct DCO fulfillment? I got a POC of this working today via some Helm chart templating, this thing is great, thanks for working on it!!!

It's probably easiest in this case for you to create a new PR with the DCO.

The GitHub UI creates a fork/branch, so you can check it out locally and use git commit -s --amend to update the DCO sign-off.

I have configured IPv6 address in Prometheus, and it returns 403 through blackbox exporter detection, probe_success = 0,But it shows 200ok when curl this IPv6 address directly , and ping was also succeed.Could you please teach me how to make blackbox exporter detect ipv6 address?

Hi 👋🏼, coming from the cleanup 🧹

We have few examples using ipv4 in https://github.com/TheNotary/blackbox_exporter/blob/master/example.yml. so I am going to close this.
