Issues starting elastic search

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I'm currently attempting to install and run Elasticsearch on CloudLinux, but I'm encountering some difficulties. The main issue is the absence of a .log file in the directory:

/var/log/elasticsearch

Despite the log path being properly defined in:

/etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml

The only types of files present are:

-rw-r--r-- 1 elasticsearch elasticsearch  4489 May 15 18:30 gc.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 elasticsearch elasticsearch   131 May 15 17:59 gc.log.00

-rw-r--r-- 1 elasticsearch elasticsearch 22926 May 15 18:00 hs_err_pid929948.log

SystemCTL log:

May 15 18:30:41 techtree.mysticnet.com systemd[1]: Failed to start Elasticsearch.

How can I debug this further is there anywhere else a file in which I need to take a look in order to find any logs?

Hi @tanchev,

Can you share your yml configuration? Can you also check if that's the full log error. It looks like a partial stack trace to me with the top cut off, but it looks like Elasticsearch is struggling to start.
