I was creating a ES 5.4 cluster on AWS. But the service cannot start with no useful error message:
elasticsearch.service - Elasticsearch

Checking jexec statusnetconsole module not loaded
I took a look at the "/data/elasticlog" folder which i set for logs. There is no log.
And I copied the config files from /etc/elasticsearch to /usr/share/elasticsearch/config and try to run elasticsearch from /bin directly. It works!
Any idea about this issue or where i can find the error log for the service will be very appreciated.
Thanks!
