I have set-up prometheus in my Ubuntu machine and it is running at localhost:9090 now. But, when I run the following command, I get a failed status.
systemctl status prometheus
Output:
● prometheus.service - Prometheus
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/prometheus.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

I tried to restart prometheus using;
killall -HUP prometheus
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart prometheus
and using;
curl -X POST http://localhost:9090/-/reload
but they did not work for me. I have checked for syntax errors of prometheus.yml using 'promtool' and it passed successfully.
Is there any other way to fix this problem?
Check if it still running on your task manager and then kill it's task from there, that will work.
