Hi,

How did you install elasticsearch? Using the tar.gz archive or rpm/deb package?

3

we are using the elasticsearch EFK stack coming with Openshift , elasticsearch version 3.2

4

Ok, then I would be able to help you. Maybe can you try to ask the openshift/EFK maintainers?

Many thanks Tangut , I decided to the generic elasticsearch docker image , not the one provided by Openshift as it is easier to deal with
