Hi.

Els is unable to start due to permission issue, specifically to this directory usr/share/elasticsearch/config/certs.

Please check the permissions with ls -l command and if necessary change the permissions using chown or chmod.

I would also check the disk space. Els may not be able to create necessary files.

After changes, restart with sudo systemctl restart elasticsearch

Thanks for your help, I have fixed it.

I'm running elastic stack on VSI, All the docker containers are running fine but i couldn't access KIBANA since all are running on 127.0.0.1, is there any way to change to 0.0.0.0 so that it can serve on floating ip.

Thanks in advance @PodarcisMuralis
