I'm trying to configure prometheus alertmanager on Debian 11 with the following unit file:

[Unit]
Description= Prometheus Alertmanager
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target

[Service]
User=alertmanager
Group=alertmanager
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/alertmanager
--config.file /etc/alertmanager/alertmanager.yml
--storage.path /var/lib/alertmanager/

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

added alertmanager as user, and used chmod for permissions but I still got the following error:

 alertmanager.service - Prometheus Alertmanager
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/alertmanager.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
     Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2023-02-08 02:00:37 +03; 6min ago

If you do a `file /usr/local/bin/alertmanager` what do you get? If it's a script of some sort, what is the interpreter (i.e. the first line of the file or `shebang`)? Can that be run? Or, if it's an executable, are you on the correct platform?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
