Can you confirm that elastic has access to the directories referred to by these env variables:

  • ${LOG_DIR}
  • ${DATA_DIR}
  • ${CONF_DIR}
3

Elasticsearch home directory

ES_HOME=/usr/share/elasticsearch

Elasticsearch Java path

JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk1.8.0_141

Elasticsearch configuration directory

CONF_DIR=/etc/elasticsearch

Elasticsearch data directory

DATA_DIR=/var/lib/elasticsearch

Elasticsearch logs directory

LOG_DIR=/var/log/elasticsearch

Elasticsearch PID directory

PID_DIR=/var/run/elasticsearch

Additional Java OPTS

ES_JAVA_OPTS="${LOG_DIR} -Edefault.path.data=${DATA_DIR} -Edefault.path.conf=${CONF_DIR}"

Configure restart on package upgrade (true, every other setting will lead to not restarting)

#RESTART_ON_UPGRADE=true

Try to create all the paths manually. Check your config (elasticsearch.yml) once. Even if it is not able to start try to run it as a process.

5

have you done any configuration changes in elasticsearch.yml file?
on which version you are working?

6

Is there anything in the Elasticsearch logs?
