Hello to everyone in the Elastic community.
I am having a problem with Elasticsearch after last upgrade to 7.5.2 and installing a plugin. It stopped working and I cannot fix the issue. it seems a problems with permissions with the gc.log file, but I changed them and still no working. So I am thinking the problem is with Java in some way that I cannot understand.
Steps:
sudo apt install elasticsearch
sudo /bin/systemctl daemon-reload
sudo /bin/systemctl enable elasticsearch.service
sudo systemctl start elasticsearch.service
This start service resturns:
Job for elasticsearch.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status elasticsearch.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
The journalctl log returns:
