Hi,
I'm having issues with Elasticsearch 1.7.6 I am on a server with 32gb of ram openvz centos-release-6-9.el6.12.3.x86\_64 whm/cpanel (but installed elasticsearch via RPM ssh) and am having issues like here: [Elastic search fails after some time](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/elastic-search-fails-after-some-time/39965) it runs for a few hours then dies.
There is nothing logged in the elasticsearch.log though I have DEBUG enabled. Elasticsearch runs as user elasticsearch the permissions on the 3 elasticsearch directories in /etc/ lib and log are all correct permissions.
So it seems disabling Sigar can help: [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/9582](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/9582) and [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/11293](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/11293) but how do I do this? Or is there something else you would suggest to do? I have almost default settings for elasticsearch the only change was to uncomment discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false in the elasticsearch.yml
This is used for activecollab [https://activecollab.com/help/books/self-hosted/elasticsearch](https://activecollab.com/help/books/self-hosted/elasticsearch) which requires the 1.7.6 I can't upgrade to 2.x or 5.1.x.

I have for now deleted the /usr/share/elasticsearch/lib/sigar/ and it has been running 24 hours without crashing now so seems to have helped. If there is a better solution let me know.
