Elasticsearch service getting aborted

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi,

I'm running Elasticsearch 6.2.2 on Rhel 7.6 and Java openjdk 1.8.0_242.

When the Elasticsearch is started, it keeps getting aborted with the following error:

Mar 03 16:07:15 barnda044 systemd[1]: Started Elasticsearch.

Any idea how I can fix this?

Hi @Ihjaz,

the file: /tmp/hs_err_pid29823.log should contain more details and would be worthwhile looking into.

There is a previous issue that resembles this though for an older ES version:

Thanks @HenningAndersen.

Changing the jna tmp dir to /var/lib/elasticsearch as mentioned in the thread you shared fixed the issue.

-Djna.tmpdir=/var/lib/elasticsearch/tmp
