Well I have only ran Grafana Agent using the command line ``nohup ./grafana_agent --config.file=grafana_agent.yml &``. Which runs correctly and I can view the log output on
``less nohup.out``. I tried running nohup with the blackbox_exporter/blackbox.yml but it keeps giving me an error *“blackbox_exporter” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified. (*Note: I'm on a Mac). I did manage to find a resource where it stated the blackbox_exporter file needs to be copied so it can be run. https://shishirkh.medium.com/monitoring-stack-setup-part-4-blackbox-exporter-f7ba54d0ed99. Would I also need to run blackbox on its own service for me to be able to scrape the metrics in grafana?
