#### Perform blackbox probes with a multitude of protocols.

Blackbox Exporter K8s is a Juju charm that deploys and manages the Prometheus [Blackbox
Exporter](https://github.com/prometheus/blackbox_exporter) on Kubernetes, enabling blackbox probing of endpoints over HTTP(S), DNS, TCP, and
ICMP. It is a complementary charm to the Canonical Observability Stack (COS), allowing
operators to monitor the reachability and responsiveness of external services:
https://documentation.ubuntu.com/observability

Probe configurations are provided via Juju config or through the probes relation, and are
automatically registered as Prometheus scrape jobs.

Key features:

* Blackbox probing over multiple protocols: HTTP(S), DNS, TCP, and ICMP.
* Automatic probe registration as Prometheus scrape jobs via Juju relations.
* Built-in Grafana dashboards and Prometheus alert rules for self-monitoring.
* Seamless integration with Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki through Juju relations.
* Ingress support for external access through reverse proxies such as Traefik.
