Hi all,

I want to install node_exporter binary file in ubuntu os.

I am running as a service file. But I am getting error when running the command systemctl status node_exporter:

Active: failed (Result: exit-code)

node_exporter.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=203/EXEC

What can be the solution for this error?

Thanks & regards,

Bharath Kumar.

203 return code from systemd means it cannot run the program that you put in your ExecStart line. First hit from Google explains it:

Maybe that file doesn't exist, or is not executable.

For further help, you'll need to show the entire content of your service file, and the output of "journalctl -eu node_exporter"
