These log lines are cut off at the end (probably just copied off the terminal screen when it didn't display the full lines), could you provide the full lines? This particular line should contain a specific error message why the Prometheus server didn't start up.

You should be able to get the full lines by running:

  systemctl --no-pager --full status prometheus

Regards,

Julius
