Description Lapo Luchini 2022-02-17 09:18:25 UTC 
Package description is currently this:

  blackbox_exporter is a prometheus exporter. The blackbox exporter
  allows blackbox probing of endpoints over HTTP, HTTPS, DNS, TCP and
  ICMP.

but currently ICMP probes can't work because binary is not suid.

I'd say either remove ICMP from description or think about changing the Port to actually allow ICMP probes to work out of the box.

PS: I see we also have in the Ports a "ping_exporter" which might be better in that regard anyways… but OTOH I'd prefer to use blackbox for that too, for sake of simplicity and number of running daemons.
