Subject: Improve example prometheus.yml config
X-Git-Url: https://vcs.fsf.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7a387ec85b129f3b9897cc58ff9a523ac9d4bd91;p=blackbox_exporter.git

Improve example prometheus.yml config

To reduce confusion about how to use http probes, simplify the `http_2xx` probe example.
* Make the example use full URLs for targets.
* Remove relabel config params that are defaults.
