            Bug ID: 262009
           Summary: net-mgmt/blackbox_exporter: ICMP doesn't work
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)

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.
