HI @Paritosh_Pandey

What operating system are you using? Was Elasticsearch installed via package management? is it a container? Was the service already installed before or are you doing a fresh install?

Best regards

Hi @Paritosh_Pandey Welcome to the community

Per the docs here To look at the logs try

sudo journalctl -f --unit elasticsearch
