prometheus: Failed to start Monitoring system and time series database

I used official documentation to install prometheus on debian 10. i use prometheus and grafana to monitor ubuntu server 18.04. All works good.

After one week, i restart my server and prometheus no longer work. when i restart prometheus service, i don't have error. when i ask status of prometheus service, i have this error:

root@srv-pg:/# systemctl status prometheus
● prometheus.service - Monitoring system and time series database
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/prometheus.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

This is my config file of prometheus.yml:

# Sample config for Prometheus.
global:
  scrape_interval:     5s
  evaluation_interval: 5s
rules_files:
scrape_configs:
  - job_name: prometheus
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['localhost:9090']
  - job_name: node_exporter
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['192.168.62.4:9100']
  - job_name: nginx_exporter
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['192.168.62.4:9113']

I looked for the error but i don't see. Please help me.

your problem is the rule_files field that you didn't specify so it's better to comment out the line and then it will work: here is the correct code:

Sample config for Prometheus.

global: scrape_interval: 5s evaluation_interval: 5s #rules_files: scrape_configs:

  • job_name: node_exporter static_configs:
    • targets: ['192.168.62.4:9100']
  • job_name: nginx_exporter static_configs:
    • targets: ['192.168.62.4:9113']
