I'm at a loss here. I have a WHM-managed CentOS 7.7 that's regularly applying patches in the background. I did a reboot today to have a kernel update take effect and when the system came back up ElasticSearch failed to start. I'm running the latest ES package that's available according to yum on my…

Figured it out. /tmp is set to mount with noexec on the system and WHM seems to want to enforce that pretty hard. I just set ES_TMPDIR to point to another location and now everything seems to work correctly. Leaving this here as the answer for anyone else that runs into the problem.
