+# Prometheus Blackbox Exporter
+
+Using the blackbox exporter we can gather metrics around uptime, latency, cert expiry and more for our public endpoints.
+The blackbox exporter ideally would be ran outside the cluster but can still provide useful information when deployed within it when combined with alerting and visualizations.
+
+
+#### Install Blackbox Exporter Helm Chart
+
+
+``` shell
+kubectl kustomize --enable-helm /opt/genestack/kustomize/prometheus-blackbox-exporter | kubectl apply -f -
+```
+
+!!! success
+    If the installation is successful, you should see the related blackbox exporter pods in the prometheus namespace.
