Nginx Prometheus exporter fails to start with connection refused error

I've setup Nginx Prometheus exporter from Nginx Inc. (https://github.com/nginxinc/nginx-prometheus-exporter) on an Ubuntu 20.04 server. Trying to start the service, an error shows up:

Could not create Nginx Client: failed to get https://domain.tld/nginx-status: Get "https://domain.tld/nginx-status": dial tcp 127.0.1.1:443: connect: connection refused

The url https://domain.tld/nginx-status is running fine.

This is the config file I'm using:

[Unit]
Description=Nginx Prometheus Exporter
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=nginx_exporter
Group=nginx_exporter
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/nginx-prometheus-exporter \
    -web.listen-address=server_IP:9113 \
    -nginx.scrape-uri https://domain.tld/nginx-status

SyslogIdentifier=nginx_prometheus_exporter
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

So the issue was an entry in /etc/hosts file...

127.0.0.1 domain.tld

Now exporter is starting without any errors!

Thanks to @anemyte
