This is the real problem, you'd need to try to check why nginx is
failing to start.

This is a known limitation from this prometheus exporter, which fails
to start if nginx is not running. This has been fixed upstream with
https://github.com/nginx/nginx-prometheus-exporter/pull/504, so on
the future NGCP release where we rebase on top of Debian trixie,
we'll get that new fixed behavior.

Thanks,
