Hi all,

I've set up an in-memory ES which I use for testing purposes. But I can't  
seem to get logging working (everything else works fine). I've set the  
path.logs setting but do I need to do anything else? In particular do I  
need my own logging.yml? - I only want simple logging to debug tests so was  
hoping the defaults would be fine here...

My Scala code is below. Any thoughts appreciated.

object ElasticsearchLocalClient extends ElasticSearchClient {

lazy val client = node.client()

private[this] def node = {  
val settings = ImmutableSettings.settingsBuilder()  
.put("node.name", "my-local-node")  
.put("node.data", true)  
.put("cluster.name", "my-local-cluster")  
.put("index.store.type", "memory")  
.put("index.store.fs.memory.enabled", true)  
.put("gateway.type", "none")  
.put("path.data", "target/elasticsearch/data")  
_.put("path.logs", "target/elasticsearch/logs")_  
.put("index.number\_of\_shards", 1)  
.put("index.number\_of\_replicas", 0)  
.put("discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled", false)  
.put("node.local", true)

```
Try(nodeBuilder().settings(settings).local(true).node()) match {
  case Success(n) => n
  case Failure(_: OverlappingFileLockException) => sys.error("Unable to 

```

start Elasticsearch. Is it already running?")  
case Failure(e) =\> sys.error(s"Unable to start Elasticsearch:  
${e.getMessage}")  
}  
}

def start(index: String, mappings: Map[String, String]): Client = {  
waitForGreen()

```
if (!indexExists(index)) {
  createIndex(index, mappings) match {
    case Success(_) => client
    case Failure(e) => sys.error(s"Unable to add mappings to local 

```

Elasticsearch: ${e.getMessage}")  
}  
} else client  
}

def stop() {  
client.close()  
node.close()

```
FileSystemUtils.deleteRecursively(new File("./target/elasticsearch"), 

```

true)  
}

...

}

Hey,

you need to have a logging.yml in the classpath or configure it via  
path.conf setting. Not sure on the top of my head, but maybe calling  
LogConfigurator.configure(settings) could also help (this is called in the  
bootstrap class, which is not called, when the node runs embedded), would  
need to look it up to be really sure.

Hey Alex, thanks. I didn't realise I had to provide some options here.  
Really useful to know.
