Setup: Ubuntu 14.04 with all recent updates,
Gitlab Omnibus version 11.7.3 (latest)
~$ sudo grep prometheus /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
prometheus_monitoring['enable'] = true
prometheus['enable'] = true
prometheus['listen_address'] = ':9090'
The problem - browser cannot connect to http://localhost:9090, and logs are empty.
$ curl http://localhost:9090
curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 9090: Connection refused
$ sudo gitlab-ctl tail prometheus
==> /var/log/gitlab/prometheus/state <==
==> /var/log/gitlab/prometheus/current <==
sudo netstat -tunlp
does not show port 9090
However, the prometheus process seems to be running:
$ ps ax | grep prometheus
1358 ? Ss 6:32 runsv prometheus
1377 ? S 0:35 svlogd -tt /var/log/gitlab/prometheus

25394 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto prometheus
Forgot to add, nginx, bundled with Gitlab is disabled. I use another nginx, installed from repositories.
Also tried restarting prometheus - no luck.
~$ sudo gitlab-ctl restart prometheus
ok: run: prometheus: (pid 32380) 0s
~$ curl -I http://localhost:9090
curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 9090: Connection refused
Update.
But now prometheus logs are not empty! Somehow its group was deleted.
