Increasing limit of total_fields in a index?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/mapping.html#mapping-limit-settings

after setting
index.mapping.total_fields.limit: 2000 in elasticsearch.yml and restarting elasticsearch is not starting, it's automatically shuttingdown.

Is it logging anything?

nope

@nik9000 found the issue, thanks
Since elasticsearch 5.x index level settings can NOT be set on the nodes
configuration like the elasticsearch.yaml, in system properties or command line
arguments.In order to upgrade all indices the settings must be updated via the
/${index}/_settings API. Unless all settings are dynamic all indices must be closed
in order to apply the upgradeIndices created in the future should use index templates
to set default values.
so updated using api

It really should log something about that setting being invalid then....

i wasn't checking the correct logs
