Look in the Elasticsearch logs. I do not think I have ever seen Elasticsearch run with such small heap so would recommend you at least double it.

See "systemctl status elasticsearch.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Have a look at the Elasticsearch logs for further clues. The location of these depend on how you installed Elasticsearch.

The location for various type of installs is shown [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.13/logging.html). Please find the logs and post them here as that will most likely show what the problem is.

hi

i installed elasticsearch 7.6.0 following the steps 🙂

```auto

$apt remove elasticsearch
$apt purge elasticsearch
$apt install elasticsearch=7.6.0
 $systemctl daemon-reload
$systemctl enable elasticsearch.service
Synchronizing state of elasticsearch.service with SysV service script with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install.
Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable elasticsearch
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/elasticsearch.service → /lib/systemd/system/elasticsearch.service.

$systemctl start elasticsearch.service
Job for elasticsearch.service failed because a fatal signal was delivered to the control process.
See "systemctl status elasticsearch.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
$ journalctl -xe

Jul 04 12:21:48 myhost systemd[1]: Failed to start Elasticsearch.
-- Subject: A start job for unit elasticsearch.service has failed

```

```auto

$cat jvm.options|grep '256m'
-Xms256m
-Xmx256m

```

then changed elasticsearch.yml file

```auto
 $cat /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml|grep localhost
network.host: localhost

$cat /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml|grep 127.0.0.1
# The default list of hosts is ["127.0.0.1", "[::1]"]
discovery.seed_hosts: ["127.0.0.1", "[::1]"]

```

mostly it goes well with `systemctl start elasticsearch` and i got 🙂

```auto
$ curl -X GET "http://localhost:9200"
{
  "name" : "somehost",
  "cluster_name" : "my-application",
  "cluster_uuid" : "_na_",
  "version" : {
    "number" : "7.6.0",
    "build_flavor" : "default",
    "build_type" : "deb",
    "build_hash" : "7f634e9f44834fbc12724506cc1da681b0c3b1e3",
    "build_date" : "2020-02-06T00:09:00.449973Z",
    "build_snapshot" : false,
    "lucene_version" : "8.4.0",
    "minimum_wire_compatibility_version" : "6.8.0",
    "minimum_index_compatibility_version" : "6.0.0-beta1"
  },
  "tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}

```

do I need to configure a proxy too?

thx  
sayantan

> i think it was best for me as my max memory is 1G . i am with always free tier of OCI now. possibly if i move out from development i will put up 1G then. also I am planing to get separate host for this in future eg. t3. small or something on gcp would work best in that case. but i don't know how to integrate something like that with magento also magento community support forum had very limited response on such thing. increasing it to 512m will take a long time now for simple restart.

and i faced 🙂

```auto
