Hi,
I am using ELK GA 6. When I launch elasticsearch, I was getting the error below;
```

```
I have solved the issue by setting `bootstrap.system_call_filter: false` in `elasticsearch.yml` file. But is it just skipping the checks? How can I get rid of this error without giving those attributes?
Thank you.

What OS and what kernel are you on?

Geez that's a really old kernel ☹ Can you update it?

Sorry to hear that ☹
So the error can only be rectified by updating my kernel, right?
