Hello

I'm installing a elastics services on a server ubuntu 22.4 but when I start the services I recibet the next error:

```auto
[sudo] password for toor: 
Job for elasticsearch.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status elasticsearch.service" and "journalctl -xeu elasticsearch.service" for details.

```

this is the code

```auto
toor@monitoreodered:~$ sudo systemctl start elasticsearch

```

this is the log:

```auto

You have a systemd error, you need to check the `/var/log/syslog` file for any hint why the service failed to start.

Try to start it again to get fresh logs and look at the mentioned file.
