Endpoint Target shows UP in blackbox but alert shows DOWN and Firing
Good day. I am facing a similar issue here. I have alertmanager and blackbox configured. However, both shows different information for same endpoint. What am I doing wrong. Please help.
I have attached screenshot to help in explaining my pain point
I see...
The "UP" value in the state column refers to the Prometheus scrape target, not the target of the blackbox module (the next column).
From the Prometheus docs:
up{job="
", instance=" "}: 1 if the instance is healthy, i.e. reachable, or 0 if the scrape failed.
https://prometheus.io/docs/concepts/jobs_instances/
It means that Prometheus is able to scrape the target and obtain metrics.

Hi @mem I guess I have a similar issue: I would like the prometheus "up" metric to fail, when blackbox-exporter cannot reach a tcp target. Is it possible to configure blackbox exporter to return failure (i.e. http 5xx) to prometheus, when a target check failed?
Thanks for your help
I did not hear the last in the issue. Had to use a make-shift tool oending when I get a solution.

prometheus的target显示up状态，只是代表prometheus能正常和blackbox，kubelet等等Prometheus scrape target组件交互，不代表blackbox写的tpc监控等是正常的，得看alert有没有告警，所以如上属于正常现象
