I m trying to install elasticsearch 7.9.2 using cloudformation on AWS Ec2. When i run command  
"service elasticsearch start" in cloudformation cfn-init command it never completes even though elasticsearch has started.  
service elasticsearch start completes when run manually.

cant find any logs or errors. This is happening after version \> = 7.7.0 , It is working fine in version 7.4.2

What about `journalctl -xe -u elasticsearch`, can you see any logs inside?
