Hi Andrea, What operating system are you running on? Also, is this a clean install of elasticsearch? Or have you upgraded an existing one? Kind regards, Dimitris ---

Also, there's a large gap in the logs between 08:15:09 and 08:15:54. If you get the same problem every time you start the node, please could you try running with `DEBUG` level logging so that we can see if any additional messages get logged during the gap. It seems that something is timing out causing the node to shut itself down, but it's not completely clear what. ---
