ES_HEAP_SIZE is set but still see -Xms256m -Xmx1g

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

I have an ES cluster running on Ubuntu 14 and created a file in
/etc/profile.d/es_vars.sh with this content:

export ES_HEAP_SIZE=7g

I have 14GB of memory so giving 7GB to ES heap but I can see in ps aux:

...
elastic+ 1474 17.0 2.2 5929120 325284 ? Sl 22:33 0:38
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/bin/java -Xms256m -Xmx1g -Xss256k
-Djava.awt.headless=true -XX:+UseParNewGC -
...

So it seems it is still running with Xms 256MB and Xmx of 1GB. I also once
got memory circuit breaker for using 600MB RAM for fields so confirming
that my Max memory is only 1GB.

I am sure environment variable is there:

$ES_HEAP_SIZE
$7g

Is there something I am missing?

Thanks in advance

If you are installing using the deb, just use /etc/default/elasticsearch to
set it.
