Thank you for your response, @mikequentel. I appreciate your assistance, I've tried adding the configuration both in blackbox.yml and prometheus.yml, but it doesn't seem to be working.

@AwsmOfficial the blackbox exporter is on the same server as prometheus?

What is shown in blackbox when you [query it directly](https://github.com/prometheus/blackbox_exporter#checking-the-results) with `&debug=true`?

# Prometheus/BlackBox Exporter probe_success 0 but service still running

(Asked by: username_0 on 2023-11-13)

I'm currently utilizing Prometheus with Blackbox Exporter for monitoring our services. However, I've encountered an issue where one of our external services is showing probe_success as 0, despite being accessible when tested with curl.
All my other services are being monitored correctly.
I would appreciate any assistance in troubleshooting and resolving this discrepancy.
Thank you.

maybe tls_config setting needs to be set
 scheme: https
    tls_config:
      insecure_skip_verify: true
