Continuing the discussion from [Elasticsearch process is killed on Centos 7](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/elasticsearch-process-is-killed-on-centos-7/68103/6):

Since existing topic was closed I open a new one.

If there is no logs, it is likely failing before the process is launched to the point that it starts logging.

Check `journalctl -u elasticsearch.service` (scroll to the very end). It should have some details on why the process can’t start.

Initially i notice there are errors related to memory, I increased the RAM to 4GB for the Virtual Machine. then there were errors from java about the VM has 1 core.. once I increased the VM core 2 no error and elastic search seems to be running.

[root@adissconsultants ~]# journalctl -u elasticsearch.service
