One simple solution would be moving the options to a seperate file. This is what the suggested default config does: https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter/tree/master/examples/systemd If you don't want to to this, it should still be possible to solve this within the unit file. I have posted an example below which seems to work for me. Neither the ExecStart value nor the parameter values are quoted in my case.
