Hi,
I'm running Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.2, and elasticsearch-7.1.1-1. I used the standard RPM installation and enabled elastic to start on bootup. During the bootup I see..

Seyp 11 17:08:20 xxxxx systemd[1]: elasticsearch.service failed.
If i start it using "systemctl start elasticsearch" post reboot it works fine and stays running.
I can see that systemd-tmpfiles-setup does seem to start prior to elasticsearch starting.
Any tips / advice on resolving this greatly appreciated. This is my first post so apologies if I've not provided all the required information.
