Hi All,

When i install Elasticsearch or Kibana 6.3 with RPM file why i am not able to see config file in the /etc/elasticsearch location?

And also i don't see scripts and X-pack folder at same time.

but it says Installing X-Pack in Kibana or elastic search  
By default, when you install Kibana/elasticsearch, X-Pack is installed

But why i don't see x-pack in /etc/elasticsearch folder?

I only see  
/etc/elasticsearch/  
elasticsearch.keystore  
-rw-rw---- 1 root elasticsearch 2869 Jun 11 19:44 elasticsearch.yml  
-rw-rw---- 1 root elasticsearch 2920 Jun 11 19:44 jvm.options  
-rw-rw---- 1 root elasticsearch 6380 Jun 11 19:44 log4j2.properties  
-rw-rw---- 1 root elasticsearch 473 Jun 11 19:44 role\_mapping.yml  
-rw-rw---- 1 root elasticsearch 197 Jun 11 19:44 roles.yml  
-rw-rw---- 1 root elasticsearch 0 Jun 11 19:44 users  
-rw-rw---- 1 root elasticsearch 0 Jun 11 19:44 users\_roles

is this expected result in newer version  
Any ides please?

Thank You.

That install looks fine.

> why i am not able to see config file in the /etc/elasticsearch location?

It's right here:

```auto
-rw-rw---- 1 root elasticsearch 2869 Jun 11 19:44 elasticsearch.yml

```

> I don't see scripts and X-pack folder at same time.

Now that Elasticsearch ships with x-pack already installed, the x-pack files just live in the standard config directory:

```auto
rw-rw---- 1 root elasticsearch 473 Jun 11 19:44 role_mapping.yml
-rw-rw---- 1 root elasticsearch 197 Jun 11 19:44 roles.yml
-rw-rw---- 1 root elasticsearch 0 Jun 11 19:44 users
-rw-rw---- 1 root elasticsearch 0 Jun 11 19:44 users_roles

```

Is something not working for you? It looks fine to me.
