Where does blackbox exporter store probe data?

405 views Asked by At

I want to store blackbox-exporter probe data through volume mount so that when blackbox container is restarted for any reason, previous probe data is available. Any way I can achieve this? I want to know where is the probe data stored inside the container so that I can persist it via volume mount.

Side question: Is it a good idea to store blackbox exporter probe data or persisting prometheus data is good enough?

The data in the UI is only stored in memory, as it's only intended for occasional debugging.

Generally you should rely on Prometheus to store the metrics.
