```auto # ======================== Elasticsearch Configuration ========================= # # NOTE: Elasticsearch comes with reasonable defaults for most settings. # Before you set out to tweak and tune the configuration, make sure you # understand what are you trying to accomplish and the consequences. # # The primary way of configuring a node is via this file.

It was supposed to be: ``` sudo systemctl start elasticsearch.service ``` ---

So I just started a centos7 VM on GCP and followed all the steps mentioned in the guide. Just note that the guide says: ```auto rpm --import https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch ``` Where I ran instead: ```auto sudo rpm --import https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch ``` So here is my full history on that machine: ```auto [david@dadoonet-test-89-centos ~]$ history 1 sudo rpm --import https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch 2 sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/elasticsearch.repo 3 sudo yum install --enablerepo=elasticsearch elasticsearch 4 sudo systemctl start elasticsearch.service 5 curl -k https://localhost:9200/ --user elastic ``` And this gave me: ```auto { "name" : "dadoonet-test-89-centos", "cluster_name" : "elasticsearch", "cluster_uuid" : "tQrfL0YNS-K35rbo5pY4iA", "version" : { "number" : "8.9.0", "build_flavor" : "default", "build_type" : "rpm", "build_hash" : "8aa461beb06aa0417a231c345a1b8c38fb498a0d", "build_date" : "2023-07-19T14:43:58.555259655Z", "build_snapshot" : false, "lucene_version" : "9.7.0", "minimum_wire_compatibility_version" : "7.17.0", "minimum_index_compatibility_version" : "7.0.0" }, "tagline" : "You Know, for Search" } ``` So I have no idea of what wrong thing you are doing on your side. Could start from scratch again and do the same thing I did and share the outcome of every step? ---
